The Titanic. The Britannic. The Olympic. They are some of the most famous ships in history, but for the wrong reasons. The Olympic Class liners were conceived as the largest, grandest ships ever to set sail.

Perhaps its most important claim for science is its ability to provide an overarching framework that integrates the many life sciences into a single unified whole.
