Aly Jones,The answer is yes as for a start the crew refused to sail,until alterations were made to the ship,and the Olympic had to go in for alterations based on the original design,which proved to have flaws,these were then put right to a certain degree,I know that people will disagree and pull me up on this.However if I am not absolutely correct,it was fact that alterations were made.The design of the Titanic was from the Olympic that was hailed as the biggest ship in the world,then the Titanic which was practically the same was hailed as the biggest ship in the world,a bit of a publicity stunt by the white star line.Future voyages of the Olympic because there was no Titanic,and then the disaster of the 3rd ship of the Olympic class.
