RMS Olympic - Titanic's older brother

- RMS Olympic was the first liner of the Olympic class, the leaders of its time, which became legendary due to their dramatic fate. Probably the most famous liner in history - Titanic - was from this class, and the youngest in the family was the Britannic, a ship, which service also ended tragically. Olympic, however, had a long and full of events 24-year career, not as dramatic as its brothers, but no less interesting.
Olympic was a beautiful ship (my favorite oven liner)
She has been basically forgotten and dosent get the respect she deserves
Today we're coming back onboard the giant liner, but now it is a legendary one)
Love it. TOP)
RMS Olympic had to be the most famous ship in its class. Interesting, if the Titanic didn/t sunk it would be lost in the history
I guess if Titanic never sank, Britannic would 1. Have claimed more lives during her sinking and 2. Become what Titanic is to us today (with the Lusitania filling Britannic’s Place
@@NaenaeGaming Britannic's sinking only had 30 casualties and they were from people who lowered the lifeboats against captain Bartletts orders so they got sucked into the propellers, most people survived , Britannic probably wouldnt be as famous as titanic is now if titanic never sank, the water wasnt as cold as it was in the atlantic, the sinking wasnt so dramatic and scary, only reason it would be known at all was because it was the biggest ship to sink in world war 1
Ultimate LifeForm You have to remember though that NONE of the changes in terms of safety would have occurred, and the situation with the lifeboats may be completely different. There could have easily been more deaths.
Naenae Gaming - AdelanteGuy maybe but there are other factors that contribute to what I’m saying, the water britannic sank in was only like 400-500 feet deep, you can literally scuba dive to it, the bow hit the bottom before the ship could submerge completely, whereas titanic is literally 12,500 feet deep, even if the Britannic had the same specs as titanic did back then there still wouldn’t be as many casualties, also consider the fact that britannic had over a thousand less passengers than Titanic, Britannic had less passengers as a whole than the amount of passengers that died on the titanic. Britannic also wasn’t an ocean liner so it wasn’t carrying regular passengers, only wounded soldiers and nurses etc and finally, it sank during a war
Ye boi
Would it not be Mother? All ships are referred to as 'She'
Unusual taco not a mother too I am a daughter
The SS Imperator Was seen has he. But yes, most ships were seen as she
Not all ships are referred to as “she”. The prime example are German ships, like the Imperator, Bismarck (yes, the Ocean Liner and Battleship) and others, which are referred to as male.
*sister
Not “brother.”
Yup!
Yes
Not hating, but all ships are called girls
The Olympic was epic! I even didn't know its history is so interesting
Why do you use the male pronouns for ships? Are you German?
Ignored Advice Productions He’s Russian or Ukrainian I think (judging by the accent) .
Actually the Mother of Seatitans was the SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
Good
Really? You don't think Mauretania and Lusitania better deserve the title?
Maybe you're right, maybe
The Titanic disaster made it famous. Maybe James Cameron will make another cinema about Lusitania)
@@trash4cash454 Nah, James Cameron did put it back into the modern zeitgeist after the wreck was found a decade earlier, but there were more famous ships, more beautiful ships, bigger ships and worse loss in shipwrecks. Titanic is the lazy man's shipwreck.
@ In fact you're right, but most of people know Titanic better than other ships
@ why is that a shame? why the hate on titanic? bigger shipwrecks that probably came AFTER titanic. its been confirmed multiple times that Titanic was the biggest MOVABLE object at the time, and it was hyped up by the press to be UNSINKABLE, after Olympic's success the expectations for Titanic, since it was supposed to be superior, were pretty high, the ship had over 2000 passangers and was the most luxurious ship at the time as well, rich passengers like John Jacob Astor were on it, Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, so many factors contribute to why the sinking was so devastating. they tried to get in touch with so many ships, the californian, which was literally only 25 miles away but the radio operator turned off the radio and went to bed, the carpathia which was coming from new york already and was 50 miles away, they EVEN reached out to the Olympic! it was 500 miles away but the captain ran torwards titanic at full speed anyway! People died from literally anything, the freezing water, drowning, going down with the ship, crushed by a funnel, crushed by the ship after the stern fell when it split, being electrocuted. the ship literally split in 2 that is not something you see everyday. survivors were shocked, worried that no one was gonna save them, grieving their loved ones who DIED. Titanic deserves all the love it gets
Its sisters not brothers
7:59 Or if it was captained by Britannic’s Charles Alfred Bartlett, who was nicknamed Iceberg Charlie because he could detect icebergs from miles away.
They've made many mistakes...
This is the guy from skyships engineering. Love all of your videos!!!
Did the Olympic really destroyed that sup by its propellers?
You mean the sub?) Yes, this ship was a badass)
yes
Yes it was confirmed when the sub’s wreck was found and confirmed to be u103. They even found the huge slash scar
Crazy)
Scribcase Team - It actually rammed it. Olympic would have been disabled and a sitting duck for the enemy if she lost her means of propulsion.
Sorry, but it's 'sisters' and 'she', not 'brothers' and 'he'.
Ship are not have gender so that man can say olympic and his brother was male or female
@@lysdamaria2344 Generally, ships are referred to as female. It was because ships were seen as mothers or goddesses of sorts, leading her sailors into battle or across the seas. In some rare cases, such as the Bismarck, ships were referred to as 'he' to emphasise their power and strength. Today, ships are more generally referred to as 'it' for gender-equality purposes.
@@tronus8586 fine
@@tronus8586 so ship was call she so what about plane ar he
@@lysdamaria2344 When planes became widespread during the 50s and 60s, many were still referred to as 'she'. You can see this especially with Pan Am aircraft, which were all named (mostly with feminine names). As time moved on, just as with ships, more and more were eventually referred to as 'it'.
Selling the Olympic for scrap was probably the worst that could happen to that ship and to the heritage of the Olympic class. Had it become a floating hotel it would surely be very profitable.
Yamato or Bismarck next?
While I like be the Olympic I feel her commercial life was very short due to the war and she should have at least been preserved. After all, it was astounding how many of their ships they scrapped in the thirties. I never did understand why they scrapped Olympic but kept Aquitania.
The ships at that time passed through hell and suffered many defects after the war. Olympic is now considered a legend and at that time it was probably just an old ship, like many other
Aelvir it depends on the rate of deteriation. Ships take a battering during their lives and some fare better than others. Companies have to weigh up the value of spending huge amounts on refits or building new ones. The average life is 20 - 25 years.
I was in the Merchant Marine, I was on liners, tankers, cargo ships. They are merchant ships. You need to do some reading before running off at the mouth. When metal rusts it is rotting away. READ
Jim Crawford yes but rot and rust has been used to differentiate between different types of degradation. Clearly you didn’t read that
It also depends on how old the ships are. Olympic was older than Aquatania and Aquatania was more "on style" because she was a newer ship. Also because Cunard White Star wanted to scrap Olympic and Mauritania because they were one of the oldest ocean liners they had at the time.
Ships are supposed to be referred to as "she". But I don't know why. Maybe I'm just too used to she. Eh.
No you're right
It's good to hear a real ship story without this conspiracy theories and other **** like this
Aelvir it was a figure of speech, we all know what it means.
The colorful cotton cosmetically point because pigeon ordinarily back since a sticky risk. easy, steady author
Кто пришёл сюда после русского видео?
All The Olympic class liners were girls not boys
английскую дикцую надо подправить, а так интересно))
The father of sea titans? then why is she a sister?
There is one thing I found incorrect. Olympic did not sink the sub in April of that year. It was May 12th. Other than that good job!
12 dislike are who still think ship have gender
Love it)
No comments about the Titanic/Olympic switch?
It's a fake theory made by crazy people so it needs not be mentioned.
1:11 that's Queen Mary launch
Olympic was sad when his brother gone
They were not Brothers they were Sisters
Is that Sky narrating?
Love this video. No any of these crazy fake stories
SkyshipEng! Why toy hide this channel from your airline enthusiast fans
We don't hide it in fact)
Same voice of Skyships Eng?
Why someone explaining to me something drunk
BRITANNIC CIASS OLYMPIC R M S OLYMPIC CIASS TITANIC
Pls do rms lusitania
Hello boiz!
Hello zenitsu!
Personally, the Queen Mary was a more okayish ship compared to ships like Aquitania and Olympic. The ArtDeco design was very bland and gaudy, and she never really had much of an interesting story, while she did transport troops like Olympic did, she didn’t really have much feats in the war, QM was just that: normal. But yet she became a museum ship/floating hotel.
While QM2 is nice, it’s interior isn’t as great as the older ships. Ie: QM’s equivalent of Olympic’s grand staircase is quite run of the mill of a regular hotel and not much design to it. It’s really amazing how huge Celebrity’s Olympic restaurant on Millennium was.
Aelvir the Queen Mary was a much more modern ship. For goodness sake, they don’t sail the seas forever. They rot!
Aelvir the Queen Mary was bought by the Americans. The Europeans don’t preserve merchant ships.. even the SS United States is a hulk and probably will never be preserved.
Jim Crawford of course they don’t. I am aware of that. The Aquitania is a prime example but she was dying and beyond repair. The stupidity of Olympic’s scrapping is that she was still seaworthy for the most part. What I really don’t get is how the Nomadic is preserved to this day.
Jim Crawford he’ll the scrapping of Olympic was so brutal that they didn’t even keep her whistle, to my knowledge.
Jim Crawford also Olympic and QM were passenger liners not merchant ships. Furthermore, Metal ships don’t rot, they rust.
Interesting video but very poor English ,pathetic accent and bad pronunciation.
Ships are always feminine in English that’s means they only can be SISTERS not brothers!
Did you google Merchant ships Aelvir, paying passenger ships are too. I was on them! You need to read more on the subject.
I thought the Lusitania was the youngest
I think it was the first in this class of giant liners but the Titanic disaster made it famous
Not the same class
