Olympic's scrapping was not due to this collision, though. She was scrapped because the merger of White Star and Cunard meant that the combined Cunard White Star Line had far more ships than it needed for regular transatlantic service, and her ocean liner design meant that she wasn't an efficient hull for a full-time cruise ship.

What a magnificent ship. Involved in no less than four (4) major collisions during her 24-year career on the North Atlantic.

Then in late 1941 the battleship USS Oklahoma collided with her off Hawaii and punched a hole in her, requiring repairs in drydock at Pearl Harbor. Had she not been forced to remain in Pearl Harbor while the repairs were completed she would've returned to the mainland and missed her appointment with an armor-piercing bomb on December 7th.

Man its been 1 years since ive been on this channel W channel still

White star line had a habit of hitting the few things in the ocean that they shouldn't.

The Olympic actually didn't cut the ship in half. It ripped it open and careened it out of the way, where it foundered immediately, but it wasn't cut in half.

The dangers of the lightship service. It was tendency on a time for liners to hone in on the radiobeacons aboard lightships while making a crossing.

There were times when I was on the Nantucket Lightship in the late 1975 that when a ship was going to pass by at less than an 1/4 mile we would turn the radio beacon off and the ship would change course. We tried all frequencies to contact them but no snswer. On occasion we did an abandoned ship drill and we saw the lights of the approaching ship in the sky and still no answer on the radio

I thought this was an accurate recreation, but I looked it up and discovered that this is actually startlingly inaccurate. The Olympic's speed at the time of the collision was only three knots, far slower than its apparent speed in the video. The lightship's crew described the collision as "more like a hard push and a terrific shaking, a crunching and grinding. It was not a loud smash as one might expect." The lightship was not cut in half. Its wreckage was discovered in the 1970's and confirmed in 1998, and is described as "remarkably intact" by those who have visited it. I'm sorry, but while this video is very dramatic, it is absolutely not an accurate depiction of the event.

hello everything is fine? I'm a big fan of your channel, I'm from here in Brazil (that doesn't change ANYTHING, but anyway), I'd like to take a doubt; from when specifically did Olympic start using this livery with the gold line below the Olympic name? I always thought it was in the renovation he did in the post-war period, but from what I saw in the photos, it wasn't. I think this format is much more beautiful than the format that was the Titanic and the Olympic itself where the golden line was above the names of the ships.
