The repairs of Olympic actually pushed titanics maiden voyage back til April(the month with the most icebergs in the ocean) so technically you can add this to the bucket of reasons why the titanic sank
Another Olympic incident - She lost a propeller blade on February 24th 1912 and had to get the blade replaced - this also delayed Titanic's maiden voyage even more. A few days, or maybe only a few hours, could've changed the history.
Final Destination That’s true, and it’s always interesting to see the lay out of the events that caused it. To look now and see how even the smallest thing (like not preventing the collision with the SS New York) could have created a different outcome with the Titanic.
This actually shows something about how strong the Olympic class liners were. People often underestimate then because of the way that Titanic went down and same with Britannic. Sadly Olympic wasn't saved. I think the would have been the most visited museum to have ever existed
It really is a shame, but it did give work to men in Jarrow and Inverkeithing. Sadly nobody thought of preservind ocean liners. The only ocean liner preserved up to that time as far as I know was Brunel's Great Britain.
@@firingallcylinders2949 exactly. Exactly the very thing that I've also been saying for a long time, that because of the legacy and the absolute legend of the Titanic or at least tot he extent that it has become the Olympic most definitely would have one of, if not the single most visited museum om the planet
yeah, it's sad the olympic got scrapped because of the great depression, however even then she still would have to survive ww2, which was much worse for the british, because the germans had a big U-Boat fleet.
Interestingly she survived a huge number of collisions: -She bumped into a pier on an eastbound voyage in spring 1912, shortly before the Titanic sank -She rammed and sunk a U-boat during World War 1 -She survived a collision with the SS Fort St George in 1924 -She also accidentally rammed a lightship a decade later
If you guys were wondering why the HMS Hawke suddenly turned into the Olympic, it was because the olympic’s engines are so powerful and big it basically sucked in the tiny Hawke
This video is all wrong, watch the other one which correctly shows Hawke approaching from the rear. Quite a few people get the impression it could have been a deliberate strike, wonder what VAR would have made of it!
@@mikedrown2721 But still was scrapped in the 1930's. Rest assure that both the Titanic and Britannic would have faced the very same fate had they never sunk. Fact is had the Titanic never sunk on her maiden voyage and/or the death toll been low it's very likely the Olympic class ocean liners would have been as forgotten as the great ocean liners that came before them and after them. Tragic fates makes posterity remember them. Btw, it has also been revealed that the Olympic might have survived WWI by a great deal of luck since a severely buckled plate was discovered while she was in dry dock - and this might have been due to a torpedo hitting her but fortunately for her it didn't go off (torpedoes in this era weren't exactly 100% reliable). Anyways she did actually sink a German submarine by ramming it. The sub tried to dive but the propellers of the Olympic sliced the sub open... This makes Olympic one of the extremely few civilian ships to sink a war ship.
@@tonydoherty2190 And to think that for years, many of us understood Titanic to be a one-off ship with no mention of Olympic, and the idea probably was to let it go and eventually Titanic would become just another historical shipwreck and be otherwise forgotten.

There really needs to be a movie, or maybe miniseries, on Olympic's life and all the crazy stories and incidents over her career. First ship of a record-breaking class, this collision, ramming a U-boat, hitting the lightship. Throughout her career was loved by the rich and famous, as well as those who worked aboard her. So overshadowed by Titanic's disaster, Britannic remembered to a lesser degree, but Olympic really had the most stories to tell.
The Olympic also tried to dash to the Titanic’s rescue when she was sinking and following her failed attempt to dash to her sister’s rescue, she resumed her voyage back to Southampton, had all of her parties and concerts canceled out of respect for her sunken sister, and under Bruce Ismay’s command, picked up more lifeboats on her way since she didn’t have enough for everyone on board like the Titanic didn’t.
INCORRECT rendering. HAWKE and OLYMPIC were travelling in approx. the same direction(East), alongside each other, when the collision occured. HAWKE was sucked into the side of the larger, more powerful vessel.
Xavier: Scroll down to article 'PANIC ON OLYMPIC WHEN CRUISER HAWKE CRASHES INTO LINER', fourth paragraph: www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/community/threads/rms-olympic-hms-hawke-collision-20-september-1911.3540/page-2 Unfortunately, the MEDIA of the day perpetuated the FALSE ASSUMPTION that Hawke rammed Olympic from the opposite direction. It read 'more dramatically' than what actually happened.
By the date of the collision all RM ships, except those on the Far East Stations, were painted allover grey. The black hulls, white upperworks and buff funnels of the Victorian Navy went in 1904.
Trivia. Violet Jessop was working onboard the Olympic when it collided with the HMS Hawke. She was on the Titanic in 1912 and survived the sinking. She worked as a nurse on the Britannic in 1916 and survived the sinking. Despite this she kept working on ships for another 34 years and retired at 63. She died aged 83 in 1971.
One weird story was she was carrying a baby during the titanic disaster, and around 1960-70, a woman called and claimed she was that baby, but the only baby on the lifeboat she was in passed away in 1929, and was a boy.
The Hawk was actually behind the olympic when the collision happened.The olympic was turning into the isle making a wide turn then the commander of the hawk ordered the speed to be increased but got sucked into the olympic being bigger and more powerful.Out of all 3 sister ships ( the others being titanic and Britanic) the olympic was the one that triumphed going into service during World War 1 and earned the nickname "ol reliable" and was in the late 30s put into retirement and scraped for parts
Hawke didn't get "sucked" anywhere, this is a bullshit story that ought to have died in 1911, but has persisted ever since. It's a story that was made up by the British navy in an effort to exonerate themselves. Small ships operate in close proximity to big ships all the time, and don't get "sucked" into them by their propellers. Either someone made an extremely poor maneuvering decision, or something went wrong with Hawke's steering gear at a really bad time. Olympic's propellers had nothing to do with it.
@@Bloodgod40 The other video, RMS Olympic collision with HMS Hawke by The Great Big Move, shows how this happened using a map of the area. Agree this is a bullshit story but it`s all part of the official Titanic narrative.
Violet Jessop was onboard the Olympic during this collision. She was onboard the Titanic when it sunk. She survived. She was onboard the Britannic when it sunk. She survived - but came awfully close to being chopped to pieces by the propellers of the ship which began to emerge as the ship was sinking bow first.
Only she did NOT sank. Violet Jessop, who survived Titanic and Britannic, was also on there on that moment. Olympic was just the lucky one of the three sisters.
Titan52berg fun fact, part of the Olympics grand staircase was made into the staircase at the White Swan Hotel. You can see it if you look up the railing there
you all should make a GIGANTIC cruiser/passenger liner titanic 2 like bigger than the newest cruise ships and retaking the title of largest passenger liner.
Carpathia: All lifeboats accounted for. Continuing your dash here will gain you nothing. Olympic: We can still carry the survivors for you. Our ship is bigger. Carpathia: No, thanks. A ship looking near-identical to the Titanic might give the survivors greater anxiety. Olympic: Resumes her voyage to Southampton, picking up more lifeboats on the way, and has all of her parties and concerts canceled out of respect for her sunken sister.
Aarib Ch then you’ll love this fun fact, the name of the Britannic was originally Gigantic, but was later changed to Britannic because they felt it related too close to Titanic. You can still find some of the posters on the internet that say the name Gigantic
Signor I didn’t find the info on bright side, I learned it from multiple book sources, including official sources, it really was Gigantic, I only trust mainly books, I hardly trust internet sources
me on the olympic seeing the hawake: oh were fine. sees it getting closer: eh whatever. sees the hawke gonna collide in like, 30 seconds: HOLY COW WERE GONNA COLIDE
It is true Olympic made it back for repairs on its own. It had only one propeller functioning, which leads one to believe that the keel was bent. The center propeller was a turbine using excess steam from other two steam engines. It is believed the turbines mounts were damaged.
@ashleydickson222 Olympics was hit with was essentially an armored bow going into quarter inch plate of Olympic. The bow of the Hawk was completely crushed. White Star certainly was not going to be up front, considering the accident caused severe damage to their financial situation. . Skepticism of the official Royal Navy and White Star report is warranted.
@@trekker3468 yes,though the bow of Hawke's bow itself was only 2 inch plate,and hollow,the main reason it was so completely crushed....though the damage only affected the forward 10 ft or so of her bow I'd be sceptical about any report of the incident.....you just have to look at the Navy appraisal of Jutland,and how many of the mistakes made by Beatty were hidden
@ashleydickson222 Your points are valid. I have to clarify that the ideas I discussed are theoretical because everyone who was there to witness is no longer alive, and it was a different era of press coverage and government accountability.
I wish to find out more about the concrete and steel beak that was fitted to Hawkes bows just under the waterline . It was sheered off as the Olympic and Hawke broke apart and wonder if it had been found and what useful purpose it served on the Hawke apart from inflicting as much damage as possible to enemy shipping .
I'm afraid the 'concrete and steel beak' was something invented by Robin Gardiner in his book The 'ram' bow of protected cruisers was hollow,highly subdivided and plated in only 2 inch steel,It's real function was for it's hydrodynamic properties, an inverted bow decreases water resistance and increases stability
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 No they didn't. That was a line of bullshit pushed by the navy's lawyers, and swallowed by the judge, to absolve the navy of liability. The command crew of _Hawke_ misjudged _Olympic's_ maneuver.
@@DarqeDestroyer well how come a ship bigger then the hawke (SS city of New York) was just literal feet away from getting caught in Titanic’s propellers, when she started her voyage. Because of the suction of the propellers obviously.
This is NOT how the collision occured. Not even close. for starters, the Olympic swung herself in the same direction the Hawke was travelling, the Hawke tried to overtake the Olympic, then was ordered by her captain to turn away from Olympic as she was too close but by error was steered even closer to Olympic. This caused the Hawke to be caught in Olympics wake and sucked into her Hull.
She protecc She attacc But most importantly *she rams the pacc* And I’m talking about the u-boat she rammed and collided with 2! Not 1 but 2! HMS Hawke and ehhhh *I F O R G O T*
In addition to the Hawke, Olympic rammed and sank a u-boat in WWI and survived a collision with a lighthouse in the 30s. She was a lot more "unsinkable" than her sisters.
And yet the inquiry, run by the Royal Navy, found Olympic responsible for the collision and the insurance refused to pay for the repairs despite HMS Hawke being the more maneuverable vessel which shouldn't have been sailing so close to the huge liner. All of the Olympic class liners had problems with hitting various objects. The Olympic hit HMS Hawke, the Nantucket lightship and U103 in WW1. The Titanic we all know about and the Britainic hit a German mine causing her to sink.
I don’t see how that was the beautiful Olympic’s fault that ship turned directly into the side of Olympic it looks like or perhaps got sucked into it by the propeller blades from being too close
I know! She has such beautiful exterior lines and her interiors were just gorgeous. Sorry, but Lusitania looks clunky next to the Olympic-class. When Harland and Wolff built a ship, they really went all-out. She even looks good in stern view, a nice balance to the decks, not looking like an block of flats but on a hull. Kudos to the design department at H&W.

@@DarqeDestroyer well how come a ship bigger then the hawke (SS city of New York) was just literal feet away from getting caught in Titanic’s propellers, when she started her voyage. Because of the suction of the propellers obviously.
Now THIS IS UNSINKABLE
Olympic says I will avenge my sisters death Olympic is a hero
Olympic : Ah... A beautiful day...
HMS Hawke : *HELLO, ASSHOLE*
This is NOT how the collision occured. Not even close. for starters, the Olympic swung herself in the same direction the Hawke was travelling, the Hawke tried to overtake the Olympic, then was ordered by her captain to turn away from Olympic as she was too close but by error was steered even closer to Olympic. This caused the Hawke to be caught in Olympics wake and sucked into her Hull.
She protecc
She attacc
But most importantly
*she rams the pacc*
And I’m talking about the u-boat she rammed and collided with 2! Not 1 but 2!
HMS Hawke and ehhhh *I F O R G O T*
U boat U-103
She rammed U-103
In addition to the Hawke, Olympic rammed and sank a u-boat in WWI and survived a collision with a lighthouse in the 30s. She was a lot more "unsinkable" than her sisters.
Its an Lightship not light house she wont survive hitting rocks
@@charlesjakesamadan4924 "Lighthouse"!!! LOL thanks
This is how Olympic should've sunk
And yet the inquiry, run by the Royal Navy, found Olympic responsible for the collision and the insurance refused to pay for the repairs despite HMS Hawke being the more maneuverable vessel which shouldn't have been sailing so close to the huge liner. All of the Olympic class liners had problems with hitting various objects. The Olympic hit HMS Hawke, the Nantucket lightship and U103 in WW1. The Titanic we all know about and the Britainic hit a German mine causing her to sink.
Whos here after they found the wreck of the Hawke?
ME
Olympic: fuk you
Hawke: bruh im not gonna-
3 crashes. (I think..?)
Hawk
Nantucket
SUBMARINE BOI
The real unsinkable!
Yes
@@Hello-ec7jo Btw it hurts me
@@Hello-ec7jo yo wassup!
What were the true colors of the hms hawke? I can't find a solid answer. Sometimes it's grey, and sometimes its white and black like in the video.
How do you disable all the HUD's for shots like this?
1:46 Olympic and HMS Hawke Collision!!!
Blue star line is making a video open tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
If THIS never happened Titanic would have never sunk
@@jake.s7065 Holy God. If that never happened Titanic would have sailed 3 weeks earlier
@@VinnyS9143101982 And Edward Smith would’ve remained captain of the Olympic while Herbert Haddock would’ve remained captain of the Titanic.
I love your videos
So the suction of the R.M.S Olympic's propellers sucked H.M.S hawk into the Olympic
Yes
I don’t see how that was the beautiful Olympic’s fault that ship turned directly into the side of Olympic it looks like or perhaps got sucked into it by the propeller blades from being too close
Can’t wait 😊
Your videos are the best Dude keep it up :)
hi
Hi :)
Oh...
@@rokas-d8o wot,?
Never mind
1:46 Hawke Collised By Olympic
I’m here I’m 33th
Sorry for being late
I’ve being busy. Anymore I really like the thumbnail and great video keep up the work!
33th
Technically, Olympic survived at least two collisions with other vessels in it's career; this one and the ligh ship Nantucket in 1934.
She also survived a torpedo hit and sank the U-Boat that fired that torpedo at her!
oh gosh that was close to a disaster when you see the photos anyway great video
Excited! (44 seconds left)
THE HAWKE LOOKED DIFF
What is it about that Olympic class that makes them look so majestic. I feel like in looking at perfection.
I know! She has such beautiful exterior lines and her interiors were just gorgeous. Sorry, but Lusitania looks clunky next to the Olympic-class. When Harland and Wolff built a ship, they really went all-out. She even looks good in stern view, a nice balance to the decks, not looking like an block of flats but on a hull. Kudos to the design department at H&W.
THIS IS WHY THEY SAID TITANIC WAS UNSINKABLE! Because the Olympic didn’t
Nobody said that in real life
R.M.S OLYMPIC WHITE STAR LINE, I know! But this is probably the reason
Cool!
What was it with Olympic class ships colliding with things? Warship, Lightship, Mine, Iceberg.
They were the largest ship's ever at the time
I like your videos. Yet I would like it if you would make a video about the Empress of Ireland sometime.
The way how it hit 3 things
Can you you do Olympic's collision with the Fort St. George in 1924
It only survived because Zeus was on board.
