I was born first, then my twin sister was born.
Unfortunately, not everything went so well on her first mission.
Two years has passed when I was told that I would have a little sister.
Then a war has started when she was born and she looked just like our sister.
I had to be prepared too, but unfortunately we didn't have the same job.
So we had to be separate and I was alone again.
I served my country like a fire star, I'm sure our sister would have been proud of us.
4 years later, the war was over, I went home waiting for my little sister.
I waited days, weeks and months, but nothing.
Then they told me she didn't make it.
So I went back to my old job knowing that I was alone…again.
Time passed, I had to carry the memories of my family.
17 years later, I was tired, but really tired.
I had the strength to go home one last time.
They said that it was the end of the line for me, but the legend will never stop running.

-R.M.S Olympic.

Olympic: a whistle of a soldier. Titanic: a whistle of grand but lost soul. Britannic: a whistle of a healer. These three sister ships will go down in history. Olympic the brave, Titanic the grand and Britannic the helper. Two were gone before their time. One should have been saved.

RMS Olympic really do be carrying the team

[Yumais]

Olympic refusing to actually sink after seeing what happened to the other 2 is such a chad move, even went as far as ramming a german u-boat

The last pictures made me tear up. Three beautiful ships that should always be remembered. R.I.P Olympic class ocean liners.

It’s sad that the 2 of the 3 sisters perished tragically and only one retired the right way

[fathanfachri]

I hope that RMS Olympic would have its own replica version

[ryans]

Olympic had to witness the death of its siblings

Three fallen greats. 2 lay on the floor for an eternal rest and 1 returned home.

The most heartbreaking image of the Olympic being scrapped is of her superstructure most of the way gone and her grand staircase being dismantled; It's horrible. If any ship ever deserved to be protected and preserved, it was by far the RMS Olympic, in my opinion.

People need to stop. You couldn’t physically turn the ship into a museum. A lot of reasons. The poor needed jobs. The ship finished the job and was retired. The captain had no idea what to do with it. Overall, I’m not happy it got scrapped, but people needed jobs. How else could they afford to see it in the museum?

The Tragic Story Of HMHS Britannic: The Britannic was built by the Belfast firm of Harland and Wolff as part of a class of transatlantic luxury liners for the White Star Line. The class, which was designed for comfort rather than speed, was conceived in 1907 and initially included only the Olympic and Titanic. The third ship was added later, and it was planned to be larger and more luxurious than its sister ships. On November 30, 1911, construction began with the laying of the keel. After the Titanic sank in April 1912, however, the ship was redesigned to incorporate various safety modifications. Notably, more lifeboats were added, and its watertight compartments (which featured doors that allowed the sections to be isolated from each other) were increased to 17 in number, 5 of which were raised from E deck to B deck. In addition, its name was reportedly changed from Gigantic to Britannic. After the hull was completed, the ship was launched on February 26, 1914. The Britannic was scheduled to begin its commercial service the following year. However, with the start of World War I in 1914, the Britannic was requisitioned as a hospital ship in 1915. Upon its completion, the ship measured approximately 882 feet (269 metres) in length and had a gross tonnage of 48, 158.

On December 23, 1915, the Britannic undertook its maiden voyage, sailing from Liverpool, England, to the Greek island of Lemnos, via Naples. After collecting some 3, 300 casualties, the ship departed for Southampton, England, and arrived there on January 9, 1916. The Britannic sailed on two subsequent voyages before being released from war duty in June 1916. However, two months later it was again requisitioned. On November 12, 1916, the Britannic departed from Southampton for Lemnos on its sixth voyage. At approximately 8:15 AM on November 21, some 2 miles (3 km) from Kéa island, Greece, an explosion occurred on the ship. Initial reports suggested the cause as either a mine or a torpedo, though later evidence pointed to a mine. (In October a German U-boat had laid mines in the area.) Although damage was extensive, only six of the watertight compartments flooded, and the ship remained afloat. As the ship listed, water began to enter open portholes on the starboard side. In an attempt to beach the ship off Kéa, Capt. Charles Bartlett ordered full speed. The movement, however, caused more water to enter the ship, and Bartlett quickly ordered the engines stopped. At approximately 9:07 AM the Britannic sank. (While the Titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes to founder, the Britannic was lost in about 55 minutes.) Several boats came to rescue the survivors, including the Scourge and Heroic. Despite the speed of its sinking, only 30 people were killed. More than 1, 030 were saved.

This was a harsh sinking.
Story told by, Carpathia



Upon all these years. I Started sailing
With my cousins, Lusitania, Titanic, Britannic, and Olympic.
I never had a brother or sister.
I was known for helping passengers on sinking ships.
More and more tragic sinking came my way.
But then, someday caught my heart. April 14th, 1912.
My cousin, Titanic, was sinking rapidly. When they called my radar. It was almost to late
But then I knew for a certainty. On April 15th. The ship split in two.
Just 5 minutes after that, He sunk.
But just over a year later. A German boat sunk the Lusitania. They didn’t warn me until it sank.
I thought nothing would happen to the biggest of all of us, Britannic. But something did.
In November of 1916. The Britannic struck a mine underwater.
And again. My cousin sank. It took less then an hour for her to sink.
The Olympic survived. But than something hit me hard.
A torpedo hit me. I knew the end was coming. And in 1918. I sunk.

"When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning or in rain
When the hurly burlys done
When the battles lost and won" Macbeth, Shakespeare.

Not sure why this came into my mind but thought to share it.

[panagiotis]

Just imagine how many visitors Olympic would have if it didn't got scrapped

[DorianMclntosh-xqey]

Great video filled that titanic and Britannic and the OLYMPIC!

[Arandohistorian]

To everyone saying they shouldn’t have scrapped Olympic and they should’ve made it like the Queen Mary as a Museum or a hotel the only reason the Queen Mary is still here is because the city of Long Beach purchased her the Queen Mary was supposed to be scrapped but she was out bought by long beach and for Olympic no one bought her except the scrappers and at the time Olympic was scrapped ocean liners were still common unlike in the 1960s when they were being phased out
