Titanic: Olympics
built 156 days ago
The departure of the Titanic on April 10, 1912, on her maiden voyage made minor ripples compared with the Olympic's inaugural trip less than a year earlier. In Southampton a big crowd saw her off, but there were no ceremonies and no long-winded speeches from local dignitaries and invited bigwigs.

The Titanic closely resembled her older sister Olympic but there were a few differences. Two of the most noticeable were that half of the Titanic's forward promenade A-Deck (below the boat deck) was enclosed against outside weather, and her B-Deck configuration was completely different from the Olympic. The Titanic had a specialty restaurant called Café Parisien, a feature that the Olympic did not have until 1913. Some of the flaws found on the Olympic, such as the creaking of the aft expansion joint, were corrected on the Titanic. The skid lights that provided natural illumination on A-deck were round; while on Olympic they were oval. The Titanic's wheelhouse was made narrower and longer than the Olympic's.[16] These, and other modifications, made the Titanic 1,004 gross tons larger than the Olympic.

Michelle attended the world premiere for the movie Titanic on December 14, 1997. The premiere took place in Los Angeles at the Mann Chinese Theatre. She attended the premiere with her coach, Frank Carroll, and wore a black sleeveless pantsuit, as seen in these 4 pictures of Michelle arriving. Michelle got her picture taken with Leonardo DiCaprio. Michelle was a big fan of the movie, even taking a video tape of the movie with her to the 1998 Olympics. Check out a picture of Michelle on the red carpet and with Kerri Strug after the premiere.
