The RMS Britannic in black-and-white.

The RMS Britannic in color.

I have discussed this topic with my friends for some time and I wanted to get other people’s opinions on this topic. If the RMS Olympic sank in any point during her life, when would the ship sunk, what would have caused it, and what would the wreck look like? I theorize that the Olympic would...

Hello I got to wonder how much was the interior of the HMT olympic different from the HMS olympic ? did he kept is luxury in it or not? Thanks for your answer! PS: english isn't my first langage

Note: This might not count as a Titanic -related thread, but It seemed important to inform or mention of. Recently I have noticed a playable demo has been released for a upcoming indie game called Under. The demo is set in 1917 on a ocean liner sinking in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and...

Can't think of what to get for your Dad or Uncle Bob's birthday ? Then how about one of the Kaiser's High Seas Fleet ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-48684400 Four of the remaining wrecks from the famous grand scuttling at Scapa Flow are actually up for sale...

Does anyone know if a comprehensive list has ever been made of the total losses suffered by every British shipping company in both world wars ? I have a hunch that British-India Steam Nav. must be near the top (or possibly even topped the list) in both wars. P&O, Anchor Line, Clan Line and the...

A model of RMS Olympic I purchased online came in the other day. Upon inspecting it, I happened to notice something odd about her propellers. All three seem to be four-blades propellers. Which is odd, because her propellers has always been notes as “Two bronze three-bladed wing propellers. One...

I spend my entire life researching forgotten disasters and shipwrecks and have so far published two books and put up 4 different memorials, with many more on the way. My next project will be the liner Justicia which was a White Star Line vessel but requisitioned by the government for troop...

at 12 noon on 29 July, 1915 the 5th batallion of the Norfolk regiment embarked on the SS Aquitania at Liverpool in company with thousands of other troops including the 4th Norfolks. They were bound for Mudros and the Dardenelles. From The Vanished Battalion by Nigel McCrery, pub Simon and...

What if she had survived the iceberg, but standards were still updated as a precaution? She made it into World War One, and was a troop ship painted in Razzle Dazzle colours? What could have happened to her?

Just a quick note. I've found some interesting information about Runic's WW1 service (finally). She was requisitioned by the Australian Government in 1914 (I think) for trooping service and was known as HMAT 54. Will post more later.

Hey, I've just read through some of the posts about Britannic; I know that most of the interior of the ship was taken out (or simply never installed) because of the ship being turned into a hospital ship. One of the posts said that the ships fine interior was stored at H&W during the war. What...

What were they thinking? She looks NOTHING like Olympic! Why are German liners' funnels so oddly spaced?

Sorry if you have been asked this before ! Everything seems to have been discussed at some point :-) But does anyone believe that Churchill might have turned a blind eye with the Lusitania, in the hope that if she were sunk then it help get America into the war ? Any solid substance to this or...

There seem to be plenty of preserved decomissioned warships from the early 20th century, as well as the 19th century, but very few ocean liners... Brunell's mid 19th century liner liner Great Britian (which was stranded for decades in the faulkland islands) is the only 19th century ocean...

How was Aluminum Powder stored in 1915 (WW1) for transport on passanger and cargo ships? Patrick O'Sullivan says the it was stored in barrels in cases, but does not describe what types of barrel and cases they were stored in, or what these barrels and cases were made from. Diana preston...
