This is the story of the Titanic"s sister ship the Olympic, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of her maiden voyage in June 2011 Launched in 1910, the Olympic was the first of a series of three sister ships, the others being Titanic and Britannic. Of the three, she was the only one to sail successfully for her owners, as the other two sank. We all know the fate of Titanic but Britannic sank after hitting a mine, without ever carrying a fare-paying passenger.Nicknamed the "Old Reliable" and the "Ship Magnificent", Olympic was a ship of superlatives. Despite an early collision with HMS Hawke, and the loss of her sister ship, Titanic, Olympic served during the First World War as a troopship, sinking a submarine during her war career, before continuing her career postwar. Refitted immediately after the war"s end, Olympic reentered service on the New York-Southampton run. She continued her successful career until the merger of Cunard and White Star and was laid up soon after, being sold for scrap to Sir John Jarvis in Jarrow. Making a final arrival into the Tyne on 13 October 1935, her fixtures were sold and she was scrapped, ending an era of super-luxury White Star liners.
