Well yeah, and anything before Titanic, Moritania and Lucitania were the size of the Carpathia, which was a similar scale down to the picture you posted
Some like you will se nothing special but Titanic was the extreme tippy top of luxurious oppulence in the 1910s. Not only was she the biggest of he family, but the most tricked out pony ever.
It's why Titanic holds such a massive grip on historians and fans alike. It was the crescendo of what being rich was, with the arrogance and foolishness that came with such ego and bravado. That's why there were so little life boats. Or safety measures in general.
If it wasn't for Titanic, cruise ships wouldn't be here.
Edit: now we see it on a minor scale with the Titan fiasco. Ballsy billionaires going 1.5 miles deep in a home built tincan for a once in a lifetime experience no others could afford.
