Hi chaps, ladies and all others

Late last year my 93 year old Grandad died, and I have taken on the task of scanning in all the old photos he had collected over the years, mainly of long forgotten relatives.
In this bundle of photos, I have found a photo taken of 'Brittanic' from Liverpool. I do not think that it is the one belonging to White Star Line, the ill-fated sister to Titanic, so I wondered if it is Cunard's MV Britannic.

Anyway, here is the photo, do any of the PH people know more about it?

Mods, please move if I am in the wrong subsection

Or is it this one?

Edited due to silly website link design. But now I notice it's unlikely to be if he took it himself, as this one was scrapped in 1903.

Look a bit further down, the design is the same.
