S.S. Olympic
At age 12, my father traveled from Southampton to New York aboard the S.S. Olympic.
Olympic was the first of threenearly-identical ships constructed by Harland and Wolff beginning in 1909. Unlike her two sisters, the Titanic and the Britannic,
the Olympic had a long and successful life as a liner serving the North Atlantic route. The Olympic entered passenger service
in 1911 and served the White Star Line until 1935, at which time she was retired and eventually broken up for scrap.
