Know The History Of The Three Olympic-Class Ships Built By The Same Company With Very Different Destinations After The Titanic Disaster

On April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg. More than 1,500 people died. It was one of the biggest maritime disasters in history.

What many people do not know is that the Titanic was part of a series of three ships. They were built by the Harland and Wolff company in Belfast, Ireland. The other two were named Olympic and Britannic.

The first to be launched was Olympic in 1911. Then came Titanic in 1912. Lastly, Britannic was launched in 1914. Each of them had a very different trajectory.

Olympic was very similar to Titanic. It operated on the route between Europe and the United States. It was involved in several collisions but never sank.

After the sinking of Titanic, Olympic underwent improvements. The hull was reinforced and more lifeboats were added. During World War I, it served as a transport and rescue ship. It then returned to commercial service and only stopped operating in 1935.

Titanic had a tragic fate right on its first voyage. Britannic, the newest and most luxurious, never even got to operate as a passenger ship.

When the war began, it was transformed into a hospital ship. In 1916, it sank in the Aegean Sea after hitting a naval mine. Thirty people died, and 45 were injured.

These are the stories of the three brother ships. Each had a different role, but all left a mark on world naval history.
