Oh, my Gosh! this is Magnificent!!!!! There are pictures, here, and angles of her, that I have never seen, much less colorized!!! I love this!!! Thank you, thank you!!!! so much!!!!
It was so sad to hear that they scrapped her around 1935! This ship should have been saved! She was virtually identical to her sister ship the Titanic.😢
g bridgman I'm pretty sure all of the Olympic class were the same in that only two of the funnels had the triple steam whistles on them. That would be the first and third. If it looks like there were whistles on all four, the other two I believe were dummy whistles put on to balance out the look.
One thing that annoys me about artificially coloured images of White Star ships is fact that most artists get the funnels wrong. The company colour was off buff, almost peach. It wasn't the various shades of orange and yellow that most images show.
Yes , white Star Buff is the most controversial of all colors and the one that most model painters ,like myself , find so hard to universally agree upon. I do believe it was more peach , but some will argue because of the lighting. Walter lord , the writer of “ a night to remember “ traveled on Olympic and using colored pencils tried to imitate the color on a piece of paper. How i wish we could find a surviving paint chip.
Another fun fact is that rms Olympic was retired in April of 1935 and her final voyage was in October of 1935 and in December of 1935 her scrapping began
Kind of sad they didn’t preserve the ship. Like if only they knew how big the fandom of the Titanic would be in the coming years, maybe they’d save the ship and restore it for museum purposes.
More rather the olympic had alotta theories she was build just like titanic but had opend windows as you can see, She was the safest liner ever build when ww1 started she was dazzled painted when her mission was cleared she was back to civilian service with the yellow line lowerd in 1935 she was scraped alongside by mauretania.
I came looking for visible evidence of repairs done to sides of the Olympic following her collision with the Hawk, proving one and for all it truly was the Olympic. Not a good enough photo here or else no damage visible. Anyone know of a clear photo of the Olympic post-Titanic sinking that shows signs of her repairs?
All of the steel used for both ships had a embedded stamp of the maker "Harland & Wolff" and the ships respective yard number "400" for Olympic "401" for Titanic. On the wreck you can find "401" on the propellers, indicating it is Titanic. Also the ships name is engraved into the hull and painted in, not simply painted on like most conspiracy theorists suggest, on the wreck you can clearly see "Titanic" on the bow, and "Ti...ic" on the stern. As for damage visible to Olympic, there wouldn't be any. Any visual damage would be fixed immediately upon her arrival to dry dock. Passengers wouldn't like to ride on a ship that still had visual damage of an accident from 10-15 years prior.
It is like new siding on a house, with fresh paint overall and new plating that matches the original. Because of the nature of her staggered and lapping plates there is no visual evidence of repair.
Nice vid it takes me back to 1911 to 1935 And also just a fact this picture 2:03 in olympic was taken at 1922 or late 1920’s so this pic must have the classic brown color Of the stair case its nice do i like both colors
Fun fact the final photo of rms Olympic was taken of her laid up in Southampton before she got repainted for her final voyage which is why she is all rusted in this photo

Adinata, not according to Jaques Cousteau, the very famous diver, he dived on the wreck in the 1970,s and discovered that the ships plates had been BLOWN OUTWARDS, so indicating an explosion from within, probably caused by coal dust in a bunker.
That is the sheer stripe. It was moved lower in her later years. Her namplate was also changed to feature larger and bolder letters. This was just a minor effort at more modern styling.
It's called Dazzle camouflage. It's meant to confuse enemies. Because of the sharp rectangular edges, that are spread somewhat randomly, it's difficult to estimate a ships bearing, range and speed. Making trying to hit it with a Torpedo a nightmare.
From what I heard in the titanic community, they had to scrap her because that was the only option after cunard white star failed to turn her into a hotel
In the 1930s she was considered outdated and fall behind in competing with newer modern ships. The final nail in the coffin was the great depression that led fewer people travelling. as a result cunard white star sent her to jarrow scottland to be scrapped this ended up helpinh the local economy of the town

There are so many differences The main one between titanic and olympic was the promenade, Olympics was open all the way and Titanic's stopped halfway. Queen Mary had 3 funnels, Cunard paint and a cruiser stern, and a bridge on the same level as the funnels. No other ships at the time apart from Mauretania and Aquitania had 4 funnels.
Because she served as Her Majesty Troops Transport during WWI, in those days when the enemy has to actually see the vessel they would want to sink, the Dazzle Camouflage helped Olympic to be mingled with the horizon, making difficult for the Germans to measure her real size and speed.
I found it strange they would choose that color for such a large area. I actually didn't believe it until I saw the original paint from the Haltwhistle auctions.
R.M.S tried to keep up with the art deco times of the 30s. Besides it was a green stain, not an actual paint coating. I think it would have been interesting to see none the less. My favorite color is green so I can dig. Lol. Still, nothing compares to the original wood stain.

Not that we the millenials are any less weird.😂
She wont last long in her old look cause on the 1930’s art deco is more likely and if you just dont change things on olympic i guess she only last long up to 1933 or 1934 :( and world’s changing its time we change too
If these pics were taken after April 1912, It's the Titanic.
Nope you idiot switch theory was debunked long ago there just wasn't enough time for a switch to occur between olympics repairs for the collision with hawk and titanics sinking.

That’s not how you spell colour it’s color
bloody Yanks thinking they can ruin everything smh
The British colour trumps the American color.
this ship is the titanic but people still cant prove that it is
Joey Palochak ... this has been debunked idiot.
There was no switch. Disproven many times. Gardner has had no proof for his stupid theory.
Thats not me...
Joey Palochak your easily, brainwashed, like people being radicalized on the internet for Isis. your Age is between 15 and 25 my best bet.heres a news flash for you, people lie. TITANIC WAS TITANIC, PERIOD.
Actually, there is an ample amount of physical evidence alone that Titanic is indeed at the bottom of the Atlantic. Only charlatans and uneducated conspiracy nuts believe the switch nonsense.
