In order to be included in the quota, thousands of emigrants on ships that had laid outside New York Harbor for some days made a race up the harbor on July 1, 1922. Photo shows some of the steerage arrivals on the steamship Conte Russo taking their first look at New York.

The White Star Line built three Olympics-class ocean liners; the lead ship RMS Olympic, the famous RMS Titanic, and the oft forgetten RMS Britannic. With a naming convention like that, there was a plethora of possibilities for sister ships

RMS Fanfic was way ahead of her time.

RMS Carcinogenic and RMS Septic never could attract as many guests as their sisters...

RMS Basic was the world's only third-class exclusive ocean liner. Nothing but the dregs allowed on this boat! Every deck is packed with steerage, and if they make eye contact with any of the officers they get thrown overboard.

A better school for training young officers could not have been selected; and the midshipmen's berth of the Aspasia was as superior to those in other ships, as Captain M— was himself to the generality of his contemporary captains in the service. But I cannot pay these young men the compliment to introduce them one by one, as I did the gun-room officers. It would be an anomaly unheard of. I shall, therefore, with every respect for them, describe them just as I want them. It was one bell after eight o'clock—a bottle of ship’s rum, a black jack of putrid water, and a tin bread-basket, are on the table, which is lighted with a tallow candle, of about thirteen to the pound.

— Frederick Marryat, The King's Own
