My son reminded me of an incident that really must have scared people on board the Olympic as she passed near the Titanic's grave.
In 1929 Olympic was involved in perhaps the most unusual incident of her career. On 18 November, Olympic was steaming just a few degrees from Titanic’s last known position when the ship was shaken continuously for two full minutes. Olympic happened to be traveling 2.5 miles above the large Grand Banks Earthquake of that year. Despite the unusual experience she was unaffected.
