I thought that bulbous bows didn't appear on ocean liners until the 1920s.  ???

But besides that, there are a few things I would change with the drawing that I think would make it look much better (it's already a nice ship though). I'd go with stouter funnels, perhaps raked a tad less. RMS Lusitania's would be a good starting point. The other is the stern, without the overhang like you see on the Olympic-class and all the other liners of that time it just looks far too modern. Like what you'd see on a modern cruise ship. Maybe also not place the lifeboats in recessed davits like that. Placing them in conventional davits on the weather deck would fit in with the early 1910s much more.

Keep up the great work though, she's looking pretty good so far!
