The Olympic-class were rather good at finding the one thing in the middle of the ocean to crash into...

[NyxMoonReads]

RMS Titanic: "Iceberg! We're in danger!"

RMS Olympic: "I am the danger."

[theaveragesimmer]

Olympic actually WAS unsinkable. So lucky that she even had a torpedo hit her hull and it didn’t detonate

[panzerwolf]

It's amazing to look back to times before radar was standard on ships and see just how dangerous existing on the water was

[Unhinged_Pegasus]

“How many times have we told you that the War is over, Olympic! Stop sinking things by smashing into them!”
-Someone.

[herakliet]

The Olympic class ships were really just aesthetically beautiful pieces of craftsmanship.

Man....anytime I think of the Olympic I think of what it would've been like if she wasn't scrapped during the depression. We could've had Titanic's sister as a museum or something and it would've attracted millions of people to see her.

[pablononescobar]

the irony of hitting a lightship, designed to signal you where NOT to go

[shadowtrooper]

If I had a nickel for everytime Olympic hit a ship, I'd have, like...two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's wierd it happened twice.

Tomorrow it would be 89 years since Olympic sunk Nantucket so I find it very nice that you release this video in that special date honoring the 7 men that died in this incident.

[LITTLE]

Wow, no wonder why nearly all of the crew members of that smaller ship died in that accident. Ironic, because Olympic during WWI DID destroy an enemy submarine this exact same way.

[watson]

- Do you know why Olympic didn’t sink?
- No
- Cause it was made out of Nokia 3310

[_cyan]

God, what could be your reaction at that point, imagine, sitting on this small lightship, and the first thing you see is the bow of this huge ocean liner, bearing down on you out of the fog, unable to turn in time, what do you do in a situation like that? Had to be scary for sure

0:27 This shot does an excellent job of conveying the sheer length and scale of Olympic! And I never knew there was ever any footage taken of Olympic, so those clips you shared at the end were a shock to see. Overall, a vey well done video!

[Ink_Sans]

wow...just full on wow 2:50 is just so amazing seeing footage of Olympic....tho R.I.P Nantucket.

[Hockeyfan-tyls]

The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank

Britannic hit a mine and sank

Olympic. She hit 2 ships, 1 submarine, she was hit by a torpedo. AND SHE SURVIVED

[keith]

Beautiful shots of Olympic, the Titanic gets all the attention and yet I suspect the public forget about the other sister ships and how magnificent they were in their own right.

[jimschutz]

What's amazing is to be able to see this research with actual photos and with a video re-eneactment. Very well done!

[XxOld_ReliablexX]

Omgg I’m glad you remembered about these events

[Razgriz]

man, Olympic really changed after losing her sisters.
