The RMS Olympic, a majestic vessel with a rich history, has left an indelible mark on maritime lore. In 1911, tragedy struck when the ship collided with HMS Hawke in the Solent, resulting in a gaping hole torn into its hull. This incident foreshadowed the ill-fated destiny of its sister ship, the Titanic. During construction at Harland & Wolff shipyards in Belfast, Ireland around 1910, the Olympic stood proudly alongside her sibling as they took shape. These colossal vessels were marvels of engineering and craftsmanship. The aftermath of the collision was captured through haunting images that showcased the damage inflicted upon the Olympic's hull. It serves as a reminder of how even grandeur can be vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances. Inside this magnificent liner lay opulence beyond compare. The first-class staircase exuded elegance and grace as passengers ascended to their luxurious accommodations on January 4th, 1912. As she glided through waters worldwide, including during her voyage in 1930 captured by an unknown photographer, the Olympic commanded attention wherever she went. With her massive bow cutting through waves like a knife through butter - it was impossible not to be captivated by her presence. In another striking image from 1930, we see a sectional view of this mighty vessel revealing its intricate inner workings – a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. One poignant photograph captures both beauty and tragedy simultaneously: S. S. Olympic entering dock while S. S Titanic rests alongside in 1912 – two sisters united briefly before fate would separate them forever. Years later, after serving faithfully for decades under various owners and names such as "Crack Liner, " our beloved Olympic made one final journey up River Tyne towards Jarrow – an epitaph for an era gone by. The hole torn into her hull during that fateful collision remains etched in history; it symbolizes not only loss but also resilience.
