New White Star Liners

Two immense ocean leviathans are being turned out in Belfast for the White Star Line, the Olympic and Titanic; each of which is 840 feet long, with a capacity of 60,000 tons. The tonnage of the Mauretania is only 31,938. These ships are not to be built for speed, but for convenience of passengers. Each ship will be able to carry 5,000 persons, the crew alone numbering 600. On each will be a swimming bath sufficiently deep to permit of diving, and the cabins are to have private shower and slipper baths. There will be also gymnasiums and play rooms, with extensive ballroom and skating-rink. The principal dining-room will seat 600. Another feature is gardens with cool avenues of Oriental palms.
