I just noticed -- and maybe the pic isn't big enough -- but it sure looks like the ship on that tombstone is the Olympic, not the Titanic.

Olympic was the older sister ship her gave her name to that class of ocean liner.

You can tell the difference between the ships because the forward end of Titanic's promenade deck was enclosed. Olympic's was not. More original images exist of Olympic from that time because it was the highly touted first ship of that class and, obviously, it didn't sink.

Images of Olympic are very commonly confused with Titanic. I was a Titanic buff as a kid, before Bob Ballard discovered the wreck in 1985, and I still remember a lot of nerdy stuff like that.
