Little is known about Titanic’s more seasoned and goofier sister. The Olympic. She was the lasting survivor of the ill-fated clan of ships.

Olympic had a long and prosperous career, yet spent a lot of it disappointing others who had dared to crush her. Olympic is more like the honey badger of ships.

She crushed the HMS Hawke, Italian St. George, and Nuntucket among others...

Olympic was temporarily used as a troop transport during the First World War. However, she craved blood! The liner made a sharp turn and ran over a German U-boat that was attempting to torpedo her during one.......

The economy was the only thing that could stop this oceanic maniac, not nature or the laws of physics. During the depression, Transatlantic Travel Group took a big hit, and Olympic was scrapped because she couldn’t keep up with more advanced and effective liners. For the past 24 years, she had terrorized the oceans.

It’s a disgrace actually that of Titanic and her two sisters, the greater part of us are comfortable just with the less fascinating one.

To add to this.
There’s the story of Violet Jessop.
She was a stewardess and nurse.

She was on board the Olympic when it crashed into the Hawke.
This must have spooked her, because she decided to transfer to the Titanic.

She survived that whole iceberg debacle, but must have thought “What are the odds that I’ll be on three ships of the same class that crash into things”

So for World War 1, she signed on the Britannic- which had transformed into a floating hospital for wounded soldiers.
Which then hit a mine and sank.

She survived that too. Cheated death three times. She was nicknamed "The Queen of Sinking Ships" or "Miss Unsinkable"

She wrote a memoir and lived to be 83. What a life!

This story first appeared on my quora profile.
