EDITORS COMMENTS
This extraordinary and extremely rare abstract of log from the White Star Line's RMS Olympic, dated December 9, 1911, offers a unique glimpse into the aftermath of a significant maritime incident. The log, part of the esteemed collection of Titanic passengers Richard and Stanley May, documents the first voyage of the Olympic following the Hawke collision incident. The cover image of this precious artifact depicts the RMS Olympic gracefully arriving at Southampton, a testament to the resilience and continued operation of this iconic luxury liner of the 1910s. The Hawke collision occurred on November 25, 1911, when the Olympic collided with the British warship HMS Hawke during a naval review in Spithead, England. Despite the damage sustained, the Olympic continued its journey to New York, arriving on December 2, 1911. This abstract of log, meticulously preserved and now available through Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides valuable insights into the daily operations of the ship during this time, detailing weather conditions, engine performance, and other essential information. A fascinating historical document, it offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century maritime travel and the unyielding spirit of the White Star Line's ocean liners.
