This is one of the reasons Titanic was classed as the biggest ship ever built at the time, despite being exactly the same length, breath and height as her older sister Olympic. Some open promenade decks on Olympic were covered over on Titanic, making them count as internal space, increasing her volume and her GRT (Gross Register Tonnage). But the ships were the same size, and both displaced approximately 52,000 tonnes.

One was the Corvette, which could NEVAH be confused with Titanic, the other...

> being exactly the length, breath and height

And that was ~~the 1967 Pontiac Tempest~~ Olympic

And because BOTH ships were made by the White Star Line, were BOTH ships available in black?

Titanic happened to be a few feet longer.

There's something of an inconsistency in some sizes you can find online, but they were exactly the same size. The 3rd sister Britannic was physically a few feet bigger.
