This is such a legendary ship, if there's one ship on the planet that deserved to be preserved it's the RMS Olympic

[@Abensberg]

oh there are many, many more ships... but i agree :P

[@Boskov01]

I wholeheartedly agree. But at the same time, we must also remember that the main reason she was scrapped was because of the times. It was the 1930s. The Depression was in full swing. And as much as I'm sure Cunard White Star would like to have preserved her due to her history, they simply couldn't afford to and she was simply not profitable. While we lost Old Reliable as well as Mauritania, her scrapping did help the people of Jarrow and Inverkeithing (where she was scrapped) find gainful and much needed employment for the time, potentially saving several thousands of lives in the process. Also, the idea of preserving ships like this wasn't really as big a thing back then as it is nowadays.

It's nice to know that the Olympic lived long for her sister ships, the Titanic and Britannic! The Titanic hit an iceberg and sunk in 1912. The Britannic was bombed during World War I and sank in the Aegean Sea in 1916, but the Olympic actually survived well into the 1930s before being scrapped. You go, Olympic!

[@jacecovelli1830]

Curt Wakeman bullshit the switch theory was claimed false

[@Dizzy19.]

Common sense. The story of the switch was invented by Robin Gardiner to sell books, he made up the entire thing and people believed him!

[@TheLeosMind]

The Olympic and the Titanic were nearly identical, but they have obvious differences. The Olympic was the basic model of the Olympic class, and the other two ships were an improved version of the previous ship. The Titanic for example delete the B Deck promenade to get more cabins and the two Parlot Suite, plus a bigger Restaurant A La Carte and the Cafe Parisian, wich was only on the Titanic. Also, the A deck promenade was improved with a closed seccion with windows and a door, that prevents the sea breeze from passing, and the Olympic didn't have such thing. The Brittanic by the way makes even more changes. After the Titanic disaster, the new Brittanic gets improved with a doble hall and double bottom, and a totally different interior (unfortunally there aren't photos availeble).

[@nascarfireball4828]

Curt Wakeman there is not a pice of good evidence saying the ships were switched. The theory has been debunked numerous times and I debunked it myself within an evening.

[@JerryFisher]

What a wonderful gem! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful time capsule from a proper ship. In my own humble opinion, there isn't a ship afloat (outside of the Queen Mary) that could hold a candle to the graceful lines and beauty of the RMS Olympic in her heyday. Today's ocean liners and cruise ships look more like some Las Vegas hotel that was accidentally tipped over into the water and forgot to sink, LOL!

[@THOMistheshit]

The olympic wasn’t designed as a cruise ship. Her luxurious interiors were constructed and fitted by H&W in Belfast. Each every cabin was decorated in a particular style ( Louis xv, Georgian, Regency ect) each cabin in 1st stated which style the cabin was above the door in brass. Now as much as these ships seem so elegant and beautiful to us today. To anyone with taste they would have seemed flash and over done much like the modern cruise ship.

[@michaelnatsarim326]

QE II is nice but way to modern for me as it is furnished in 1960's style. Nothing holds a candle to the great OPULENT liners of the gilded age!!!!!!!

[@sealover5861]

Modern cruise ships are mass tourism industry creations. The idea is to cram as many paying people as possible onboard them. And most of these people don't care much about how these ships look on the outside. I mean, the Norwegian Epic is, in my opinion, the ugliest of them all, and it still hasn't any problem to get passengers. Unfortunately, we, ocean liner enthusiasts, are in a minority. It was the oil crisis in the early 1970's that finally killed the traditional ocean liner service. Genuine ocean liners like the SS France and the Italian sisters SS Michelangelo and SS Raffaello were laid up after only a decade long career. Some of the liners that were built as hybrids (ocean liner suitable for cruises), like the SS Rotterdam and the SS Canberra, got a long career. The SS France indeed got a long career as SS Norway, but they also increased her inner space and made her more "top-heavy". Cunard also made the QE2 more top-heavy to be competitive in the modern cruise market. The QM2 is technically a proper ocean liner, actually the only one in service today but in my opinion she looks too fat.

The ship's fittings and interiors were auctioned off and some still survive to this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Swan_Hotel,_Alnwick Also, you've got to remember this was the 30s, the height of the great depression. Titanic was just not talked about back then as she was seen as a failure and an embarrassment so there was no nostalgia about her or other ships until the jet age started to make the mode of transport obsolete. She was also relatively old (though she probably still had a good 10 years more in her) and was outclassed by more modern ships. In the 30s she was not drawing passengers and failing to meet her own running costs. To her owners her only value was as scrap metal at that point.

The RMS Olympic truly was the greatest merchant ship in history. Her design was perfect, beautifully proportioned with beautifully designed interiors. She was a war hero, not every ship has the accolade of sinking TWO submarines AND surviving being torpedoed. She was a survivor, who saw her two younger sisters never see a successful career and following the sinking of Titanic, she rose like a phoenix from the ashes and redeemed her tarnished reputation. During her lifetime, Titanic was never the reason as to why she was famous. She was famous because of what made her “The Old Reliable”. It’s a shame that Titanic overshadows Olympic, and that such an important ship is stuck in her younger sister’s shadow. Of course there are other ships that could be considered the greatest ocean liner in history, Normandie, Queen Mary, France, United States, but it was Olympic who in my opinion, is miles ahead of even the Queen Mary! The Olympic Class all had tragedies, all had a loss of life. Olympic’s tragedy was her own death and loss of life. While Olympic never should’ve been scrapped, she brought many jobs to Jarrow, being reliable to the very end. Titanic obviously made me interested in ocean liners, going through all the picture books and seeing the beautifully designed ocean liner, only later did I realize that those were all images of Olympic. I didn’t fall in love with Titanic, I fell in love with “The Old Reliable”

[@stephaniejames6672]

The RMS Olympic in her warpaint dodged torpedoes and ran down the pesky sub, cutting it in half. Her crew collected the German uboat crew and imprisoned them onboard. Also, the Olympic had plenty of opportunities to sink, but she never did. Being rammed accidentally by a ship designed to ram and sink ships early on. She is a fascinating vessel. I, like so many others, wish she was a museum.

[@paulheenan9098]

She didn't stop to collect the U-boat survivors. The Admiralty were very protective of their valuable troopships and wartime protocols prohibited them from stopping for any reason, even if a nearby vessel (friend or foe) was in distress. It was up to the more expendable destroyers and cruisers escorting them to deal with such scenarios. The closest she came to sinking was in September 1918, when U-53 actually torpedoed her in the English Channel but through sheer luck the warhead failed to detonate, a sizable dent in her hull the only evidence of the close call.

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

It didn’t dodge any torpedos, the uboat couldn’t flood the torpedo tubes due to a malfunction. Olympic was always a lucky ship, had several collisions and accidents in its day and survived all of them. She took all her sisters’ luck I suppose.

@@sealover5861 yes, you make a good point....the discovery of the ship made an impression on people such as me, who already knew about the Titanic, and that possibly prompted the making of the 1997 film....but what put Titanic into public awareness on a MASS scale was that ridiculously cartoonish ''good guy versus bad guy'' plot of the 1997 film...most people who saw the film believed the silly plot waas factual.....and the film libelled the crew and male passengers as being frantic, bewildered, and ineffective...film ignored the fact that the officers accomplished exactly what the Captain told them when they met on the bridge and he told them that they, and the ship, were doomed, and to get the women and children into the boats...Captain Smith said "there must be NO panic"...and there was none, until the last moments when the bow went under and the stern began to rise...the brave men got 74% of all females on Titanic into the lifeboats and to safety....but only a tiny 16% of all men aboard survived....worst was 2d class men, only 6% survived....more 3d class men survived than 2d class

The grand staircase and elevators look much like on Titanic. This is like having a Time Machine. So interesting to see Titanic’s sister ship.

No doubt that James Cameron borrowed heavily from this footage for his film😊 6.12. Seeing the cooks in the kitchen is fascinating because the scene is still valid even today, nothing has changed since really 😅 It looks, by the 1920's man & woman shook hands which I find peculiar for that era. Simply marvellous!😊❤

old ship compared to today's floating resorts.. however if she were rebuilt with the same classic decor, rooms and furniture with some slight touch of modernity museum...complete with that ancient steam engine... you'd be lucky to get a reservation years out.

The grandeur of yesteryear is no where near of today. These people excel opulence and take pride in their work in catering for the ships passengers. These people wore pride on their shirts by training in bow ties or ties, it’s just the sign of the time and it’s just seems people of today do not have anywhere near the respect and courteous of these superior bygone people. What a time to live in. Upmost respect to these people.

Alexa the two ships were sisters, only a year apart, and twins in (almost) every way - they had a beauty of both line, appointment and craftsmanship that is absolutely alien to anything today - even looking at my 40 inch museum replica, fills me with wonder and can almost bring me to tears. As was pointed out by another person, todays cruise ships look like a Las Vegas casino turned on its side and made buoyant. Wouldn't it be incredible if some very very wealthy person was to revive this ship - everything the same - with the exception of course of the engines and boilers and the need for coal... can you imagine? And (dreaming) what if you could take a voyage as a trip back in time, - of course as we no longer have our own maid to help dress us, one would be appointed to us (If we were in "the first cabin"..... the gentlemen would be gentlemen, not a pair of jeans in site, no cell phones no MP3's .... the ships orchestra would play rag time and tunes of the day - In a way this dream makes me think of my most favorite move "Somewhere in Time" (Jane Seymore and Christopher Reeve) - if you haven't seen it, do (but you will need about three boxes of kleenex) - you will never be able to listen to "Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini" the same way again -- it too will take you back to another space and time.

[@AngryCatMan1982]

@@cynthiaklenk6313 I know it's been a while since you wrote this. I'd have to agree with you. As a gearhead I'd want to experience those giant reciprocating engines and mammoth boilers just to gain feel, smell, and the appreciation of the labor involved. I've watched Somewhere In Time a few times with my dad. The Grand Hotel is a true Edwardian Era time capsule. Titanic at the Grand is as about as close as one can get to experience that era.

[@Embracing01]

Does anyone know anything about Olympic's poop deck docking bridge and why in some photos in 1911 the starboard side of the docking bridge appears to be extended out by a few over the side?. I'm guessing this was to enable crew to see clearly over the side. However, this extension wasn't there when Olympic was launched nor during her maiden voyage but seems to have appeared around the time of the Hawke collision as does the gunwales painted brown on the lifeboats. For some reason photos of Olympic with her funnels painted black in 1915 don't show this extended poop deck docking bridge, and also photos showing the portside of the stern taken during Olympic's lifeboat inspection (which can be found on the Paul Lee Titanic site) shortly after the Titanic disaster show an extended out docking bridge. Anyone know why the docking bridge kept changing?.

My understanding is that her scrapping had provided jobs to many workers during a time of economic depression. So, she went out on top.

"A Night to Remember "(1958) incorrectly showed Norman Wilkinson's painting "Approach to the New World" in the 1st class smoking room of the "Titanic" whereas it should have been "Plymouth Harbour" by the same artist.This actual documentary of RMS Olympic correctly shows "Approach to the New World" at 13.47-50.We can forgive Walter Lord this error as a lot of research has been done on the "Titanic" disaster since the late Walter wrote the book in 1956.
