My great grandfather served on the Olympic.. I’ve got his discharge book which has Captain Haddock’s signature in it. Maybe I’ll take it up to that hotel one day and stay the night.⚓️⚓️⚓️
My wife and I had a special dinner experience in the Olympic Restaurant on the Millennium several years ago It was fantastic. There was also a wine room from the Olympic attached to the restaurant. It was an elegant experience.
It was amazing and I was appalled when the new management got rid of the ocean liner restaurants on the Millennium class ships. They were beautiful rooms. Celebrity has gone so far downhill since then in my opinion; we haven’t been back on them for years now.
My dad was a Cambridge engineering student. In 1933 he made a trip to the US in RMS Olympic working in the engine room. We had a photograph of him on board the ship but it has been lost.
Imagine how much an intact Olympic would be worth today. Drastically different priorities in 1935, Titanic being a recent memory & dumping assets as fast as possible being the craze. It definitely wouldn't have survived WWII.
A lot less than the annual upkeep. It would probably be a leaking hulk in some harbor, unable to pay for it's berth. Do you have any idea how hard it is just to keep a ship afloat?
Regretful that there was no foresight at the time. She would have made a magnificent floating museum. The photo of the torn up grand staircase was heartbreaking. Still, the hotel did an excellent job of utilizing the wood paneling. I might have to travel there someday. Such great craftmanship. I would have never known about this without this video. Nice bit of info. Thanks.
Yes, with the benefit of hindsight, the later discovery of the Titanic wreck and the resulting increase in interest therein, it would have been a no-brainer to have had the Olympic moored at the Titanic exhibition in Belfast, where she was built.
Shame, they didn't make her a "floating hotel in the Thames". Like the queen Mary in Long Beach. -- though, she woulda sunk in WW2 as a troop transport ship.
I grew up just outside of Belfast, my grandad, my dad, mum, and several uncles worked in H&W. I hate the Titanic obsession that prevails to this day, as it is famous for all the wrong reasons. By all means, remember the Titanic and those that died on Titanic's one and only voyage, but remember also the Olympic, the successful sister ship, that didn't sink, wasn't driven full speed into an iceberg, but did the job she was built for, and was decomissioned and scrapped decades later.
I'm from Dublin and I've been to H&W a few times long before the centre was built there. As a lover of ocean liners I've often felt that it's such a shame people always associate H&W for the tragedy of the Titanic. Especially since there are a lot of false notions about the disaster. A lot of incredible ships were built there that barely even get a mention nowadays. The RMS Olympic was one of the all time great ships. And the irony is that had the Titanic survived it may well have lived in the shadow of the Olympic.
The Olympic a la carte panelling actually resides in complete form, together with its brass wall lights, in a private residence in N Ireland. I’ve been in it!
Thank you for this information. I have a very few original pieces from Normandy, United States, Queen Mary, Bremen etc. nothing expensive, but thought provoking to look at
Interesting and well made video , thank you , pity some of the present day Titanic enthusiasts, dont seem to realise that the Titanic fetish is a relatively modern phenomenon .
I can understand perfectly why everyone's anger Even I was upset when I found out about this. Seriously, they had not only the sister of the Titanic, they had a ship with great feats • It survived the war, • it survived ship crashes, • and most notably it was one of the first ships to survive a submarine attack and managed to sink it. If only they had known how popular the Titanic would have become
Such a sad thing. Can you imagine how popular a ship that still exists today that is almost identical to the Titanic? It is so sad how all these iconic ships don't exist today due to scrapping, sinking or other methods, like the SS United States who was stripped and parked up and allowed to rust away.
Worth mentioning is, that the RMS Nomadic was a tender ship serving the Olympic, as well as her sister the Titanic, in Cherbourg, as the Olympic class was to big to be boarded in the actual harbour.
One would think there would have been sales receipts from the auction so we would know where everything ended up. Since I haven't heard of any accounting or attempted accounting of these receipts, they must not exist any longer. Same for the Brittanic's fittings, panelling, etc. My understanding it was never installed during WWI or after, but instead held in a warehouse somewhere in Belfast. Same question: what happened to the sales receipts when these were sold? There are some videos out on it (on the Honor and Glory site on YT and possibly the Part-Time Explorer site here, too), showing beautiful woodwork and fittings from Brittanic in private homes in Belfast that had been snapped up at auction by architectural firms. All in all, while this show did an excellent job of showing some of what happened to Olympic's stuff, the fact is that most of it and Brittanic's interiors remain unaccounted for. I would think researchers would have found it all by now, which tells me the receipts that could trace it all don't exist from the auctions of either ship's interiors.
Those ships were jewels. She could have served another decade. There was no worry or threat from airlines. Oven liners would still make money now. The QM2 is fully booked on every crossing.
If ships would make more money than air travel, corpos would be pushing transoceanic cruises. The money-grubbers evidently don’t agree with this comment.
@@PhantomP63 The cruise industry is raking in the bucks. If America funded an ocean liner to be built she would be booked to and from Europe. The QM2 is fully booked on every crossing.

I live 20 miles from ALNWICK (pronounced ANNICK in the area) There are STILL some who believe the Olympic was the ship which sank in 1912 and the panelling is that of the TITANIC? I wonder if any of the workers who dismantled the OLYMPIC found any evidence of her repairs after the collision with HMS HAWKE in 1911which is stated to have badly damaged her above and below the waterline and most seriously bent her keel???
The numbers on the woodwork at the White Swan Hotel rather prove the asininity of the switch nonsense, as they read 400, not 401. Oltmpic's keel was never damaged.
it is scanderlous the way the olympic was allowed to be scrapped,didn't the clowns know it was titanic's sister ship,could have been floating museum, all that hard work for nothing
Back at that time, the TITANIC was largely "forgotten", because it was a horrible tragedy nobody WANTED to remember - one famous ships' Captain, in his autobiography, refused to even MENTION her anywhere within. Even White Star basically erased her from history - nobody there ever referred to her as the "sister ship of the lost TITANIC" - it was treated as if she had been built as a lone ship. Considering the economic times, and that fact, it's no wonder nobody at that point wanted a floating reminder sailing around. In FACT, when she was put off for sale, it was under the condition that she must be scrapped - no returning to service in any form.
Its probably just as well, between people screeching to make things green, accessible, safe, cheap and fit for everyone everywhere at all times she would have been so mangled as to be unrecognizable by now. Id rather have the fantasy than an iron firewall cutting the saloon in half and half the rooms gone for wheelchair access and all the paneling ripped out because fire hazard or lead or asbestos or whatever and replaced with aluminum or plastic.
There was nothing special about this ship at the time. It was simply an old outdated ship and no different than scrapping 20 year old ships today. There's nothing scandalous about it, just economics.
Breaking up the Olympic to 'create jobs' is another example of the French economist Bastiart's 'fallacy of the broken window'. Break all the windows and you can create lots of 'jobs' ! I traveled on the Celebrity Millenium years ago and dined in the dining room of the Olympic which at the time was installed in the cruise ship. I guess that's about as close as one can get to recreating the experience of what it must have been like to travel on the great ship....
🚢 Australian billionaire Clive Palmer is trying to build Titanic II, with a launch date of 2027. We will see. The T2 Project has had several stops & starts. If Olympic still existed, Palmer could have refurbished & upgraded it for sea duty once again 🤦🏻♂️ 🌌🔭
RMS Olympic had already survived a War half a Depression and another on the horizon. Even if it had made it past 1945 there would be some decades later for societal interests to pique around the Titanic "legend" again. A ship, story and legacy that was not as feverish then as it is today with our hindsight. Those in 1935 preserving the Olympic with its sister ships allure in mind would be like us saving 737 Maxes for future generations...
I wish there were models of Olympic, and other ships that did not sink. Large models, like the Academy model of Titanic and Lusitania. Would be great to see large DIY plastic models of Olympic, Mauretania, Aquitania, and Queen Mary.
@@ChristurnbullllubnrutsirhC All the numbers on the ocean read 401, everything saved reads 400. Nameplates were engraved onto the ships not simply bolted on that could be easily swapped. Titanic I don't think was even finished when the two ships were together, and the time frame wasn't feasible to swap them with all the work that'd need to be done. And the underwater O P footage has been exposed as CGI. If I remember right the theory is flawed right from the get go as Titanic's insurance didn't even pay out enough to cover the cost of sinking a ship. So no the ships really wasn't switched.
@@thefreedomguyuk But it took 'THEM!' nearly a quarter of a century to get round to it? The two Olympic cost £1.5 million each to build, and were insured for £1 million each. When Titanic sank, White Star lost a major asset, their safety record, and £500,000 Not the smartest of scams, I suggest?
Titanic wasn't worlds most famous ship back then. Back then it was sadly just a White Star Line ship at the bottom of the ocean that nobody knew the location of.
People demanding it should never have been scrapped weren't there at the time and dont have to pay for its upkeep, so just youtube experts worthless opinions.
@ I suggest you start by recognising the differences between the two ships, if that fails have a look at the build numbers. Best of all remember the 'switch theory' was invented by one Robin Gardiner in a book called The Ship that Never Sank, it was a fictional book and idiots thought it was real!
@ check out the port hole spacing and the underwater images of the proud letters that have fell off revealing the letters suggesting its the Olympic, next you’ll be telling me we’ve been to the moon 😁👍
That theory never actually worked, because the ship, fittings and cargo were not insured for even close to actual value, and if you can race a ship across the North Atlantic at top speed for thousands of miles, what could really be wrong with it? How did they know there would be icebergs so very late in the year? Hmm?
And Britannic too. 3 sisters. 2 at bottom of ocean. Olympic survived and thrived. Too bad they scrapped her. But depression was an evil mistress, and that work put food on many tables. Now we have the SS United States rotting in Philly. Think it has been gutted too. Not sure this one will be saved from the scrapper's torch either.
@Dizzy19 the Olympia was wrecked in the collision with the British naval frigate and was beyond repair , they switched em and took the scrap ship to the bottom where it would never be scrutinised or raised.
@@muckle8 Olympic was repaired and returned to service in Nov 1911, when Titanic was far from ready, not bad for a ship that was "beyond repair" Stop believing false facts and check things for yourself.
Must be my age but I still love older houses with character than the simple boxes they build now, electric cars don’t impress me,I also still love the older ships rather than the modern shopping malls they call cruise ships these days. Maybe more efficient and cleaner but certainly a lot less interesting.
Olimpic is actually, the Titanic names were swapped for insurance scam. the Olympic is at bottom of ocean, not the Titanic. its why they refused to bring up the "Titanic" !!
This theory has been debunked multiple times. One clear piece of evidence is the starboard propeller blade of the Titanic, which is engraved with the yard number 401, the number assigned specifically to the Titanic. It's always good to look into reliable sources to get the facts straight.

@@joelrivera4708 Aren't fact-free conspiracy fantasy videos such FUN!?
Latching on to controversies to feel like one has the “secret knowledge” is kind of a cope.
@@PhantomP63 Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Baaaaa

Must be my age but I still love older houses with character than the simple boxes they build now, electric cars don’t impress me,I also still love the older ships rather than the modern shopping malls they call cruise ships these days. Maybe more efficient and cleaner but certainly a lot less interesting.
Olimpic is actually, the Titanic
names were swapped for insurance scam.
the Olympic is at bottom of ocean, not the Titanic.
its why they refused to bring up the "Titanic" !!
Rubbish!
@@user-pb54Actually, it's true !

Dont believe The Normal !!
The Normal is for the Sheep !
This theory has been debunked multiple times. One clear piece of evidence is the starboard propeller blade of the Titanic, which is engraved with the yard number 401, the number assigned specifically to the Titanic. It's always good to look into reliable sources to get the facts straight.

Ofcourse !!
We must keep with the Mainstream Think, guided by the Wise Globalists !!
You just built a floating manhattan, the KINGs Navy crashed into it and totaled it, complete loss !! And the King just told you to go EFF urself when you presented the bill for the Olympic loss !!
Nope ! No Dark Conspiracies here !! ALL is like They tell us...
Getting rid of proof of the cover up ya know or ya dont
Really!!! So there was a wait of 25 years before someone thought the 'evidence' should be got rid of? Do me a favour!!
