An Illustrated History of the Olympic Class Ship
Designed for passenger comfort, the Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic were intended to provide luxurious surroundings and safe and reliable service rather than record-breaking speed.
Ironically fate decreed that only Olympic would ever complete a single commercial voyage and she went on to serve for a quarter of a century in peace and war. Titanic's name would become infamous after she sank on her maiden voyage, while Brittanic saw a brief and commendable career as a hospital ship during WWI, sinking in the Aegean in 1916.
