Dazzle ships
 

I see they showed the good ol' RMS Olympic.

So, you like the RMS Olympic? So did Charlie Chaplin... And the man was a genius.

All 3 of the Olympic class ships had interesting careers - 2 were, of course, cut short; the Olympic herself long served with distinction.

The Olympic just had the" normal" carrier of a luxury/immigrant transatlantic ship of the era. It was shadowed by it's younger sibling Titanic history. Everybody knows the Titanic, almost no one ever remembers the Olympic (exception made to those who care for travel history). And the Britannic never had a commercial carrier, that makes it known only to war history buffs.

Yea, the Britannic's fate is quite sad.

In then there's the Mighty Mary, Queen of them all!

And also it's great rival, also with sad fate, the Normandie (maybe the most beautiful liner ever).

Having never seen the Normandie in person, I cannot judge between the two - but its fate was ignoble for sure. If the QM had had the more modern style hull of the Normandie - she could have been even faster than she was.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting, that's something I didn't know!

Regards.
