  • The RMS Olympic was a British ocean liner that sailed for the White Star Line from 1911 - 1937, She had a successful maiden voyage that began on June 14, 1911 and ended June 21, 1911.
  • White Star had a backup plan. They put out the message that the Olympic and Titanic were "unsinkable" and so didn't need well-qualified seamen to work on them. The ships were said to be "so simple" than even an idiot could navigate them. And if they couldn't find enough idiots to man the ships, arrogant captains who thought they knew better would be better. Step forward Edward John Smith, captain first of the Olympic and then Titanic's first — and last — skipper. He impressed right away.
  • RMS Olympic is a Transatlantic Ocean Liner; the lead Ship of the White Star Line's Olympic-Class Ocean Liners, sister to the Titanic and Britannic.
  • The RMS Olympic was an Olympic-Class ocean liner. Launched in 1910, she was the sister ship of the RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic. At the time of her completion, she was the largest ship in the world, a distinction she would continue to hold with the exception of the brief time periods that her sister ships sailed. She lived a full life in service until 1937 and became known as the "Old Reliable", surviving the longest of the three Olympic-class ships.

abstract
  • The RMS Olympic was a British ocean liner that sailed for the White Star Line from 1911 - 1937, She had a successful maiden voyage that began on June 14, 1911 and ended June 21, 1911.
  • White Star had a backup plan. They put out the message that the Olympic and Titanic were "unsinkable" and so didn't need well-qualified seamen to work on them. The ships were said to be "so simple" than even an idiot could navigate them. And if they couldn't find enough idiots to man the ships, arrogant captains who thought they knew better would be better. Step forward Edward John Smith, captain first of the Olympic and then Titanic's first — and last — skipper. He impressed right away.
  • The RMS Olympic was an Olympic-Class ocean liner. Launched in 1910, she was the sister ship of the RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic. At the time of her completion, she was the largest ship in the world, a distinction she would continue to hold with the exception of the brief time periods that her sister ships sailed. She lived a full life in service until 1937 and became known as the "Old Reliable", surviving the longest of the three Olympic-class ships. She was the largest ocean liner in the world for two periods in 1911–13, interrupted only by the brief career of the slightly larger Titanic. Olympic retained the title of the largest British built liner until the RMS Queen Mary was launched in 1934, interrupted only by the short careers of her two slightly larger sister ships.
  • RMS Olympic is a Transatlantic Ocean Liner; the lead Ship of the White Star Line's Olympic-Class Ocean Liners, sister to the Titanic and Britannic.
