The RMS Olympic was indeed a real ship. It was the sister ship to the RMS Titanic. It was retired in 1935.
The sister of the RMS Olympic was the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912.
The Titanic's sister ships were called the Olympic and the Britannic. The Olympic was the 'lead ship' and built first. The Britannic was built after the Titanic and was originally going to be called the Gigantic.
RMS Olympic was the lead of 3 sister ships, the other 2 being the RMS Titanic and HMHS Brittanic. All 3 were built in the Belfast, Ireland, at the Harland and Wolff shipyard.
The Titanic sister ship was The Olympic and the Britannic
The RMS Titanic served only as a passenger liner. The ship was built intended for use as a luxury oceanliner, for passenger use, only. It was the largest luxury liner, ever built at the time of her maiden voyage (first and last). RMS Titantic's sister ship, HMHS Britannic, was built and intended to serve as a transatlantic passenger liner. Shortly before the start of WWI, Britannic was put to use as a hospital ship. In November of 1916, she struck a mine off one of the Greek Islands, and sank with a loss of 30 lives, all crew members of the ship. RMS Titantic's older sister ship, RMS Olympic was also built as a Passenger Oceanliner. During the Olympic's lengthy time in service, she served extensively as a troopship during WWI, and later went on to serve as a transatlantic passenger liner. The RMS Titanic only moved passengers and their belongings, her sister ship HMHS Britannic, intended for the movement of passengers, served only as a hospital ship. Titantic's other sister ship, RMS Olympic served as a troopship, and passenger liner. As a troopship (and passenger liner), the Olympic moved military troops, and passengers. All 3 ships, only moved people, and did not serve as cargo liners.
The RMS Titanic was completed March 31, 1912.
The RMS Titanic and her sister ships, Olympic and Britannic, were built at the Harland and Wolff shipyards in Belfast, Northern Ireland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Titanic
The RMS Titanic, was built in Belfast, by Harland and Wolff.
Titanic had a sister ship built similar but a little different to her and it was called RMS Britannica. Titanic had a TRUE sister ship called RMS Olympic. Olympic was already being built at the same time Titanic was getting built at Harland and Wolf shipyard. Olympic also being built at the Harland and Wolf shipyard in Belfast. Titanic cost $7,500,000 to build in 1912. After the Titanic disaster the White Star Line, builder of those ships, was bought out by the Cunard line because of financial reasons after the Titanic disaster and Cunard owns what you may know today is the Queen Mary. Oh and if you were wondering what R.M.S. stands for? It stands for Royal Mail Steamer.Olympic (older sister) Titanic (middle sister) then Britannic (which later was switched with the name Gigantic) the baby sister.
The Olympic did not sink but there have been conspiracies that say it switched with the Titanic for an insurance scam, but i think that conspiracy is rubbish.
The ship is known as R.M.S. Olympic. The Olympic was Titanic's sister ship.
