Olympic's Failed Attempt to Reach the Titanic
A unique new insight into the Titanic tragedy. The story of Titanic's sister ship on the night of 14/15 April 1912. Entering service a full ten months ahead of Titanic, the Olympic was a near identical sister ship, the first of a class of three liners, two of which would sink. Wade Sisson tells the story of the Olympic on that fateful night, how she was a mere 350 miles away, outward bound from New York back to Southampton. Titanic's faint distress signals were heard by the Olympic and her Captain, Haddock, prepared her for the rescue mission. Steaming at full speed towards the scene of the disaster, she was readied to receive passengers and crew from the doomed liner.
