What a exciting sight to see. A Ocean Liner being built from the keel plates up. Scrapping is sad, & unacceptable. Ocean Liners are not to be recycle.
Great footage a real shame that "the old reliable" was scrapped. She should have been preserved, there are no ships like her anymore., Oh and btw I also like the music. Whats is this song called?
Ocean Liners like Olympic ARE NOT something to be recycle. They should be either perserve or sunk. I wish those Itachis as I like to call the unforgiveable scrap merchants would just leave them alone..
its definitetly not titanic because her hull was black when launched. Olympic and britannic were both grey so it could be either of them. Olympic was a big deal when she was launched so i would guess its her but maybe not.
Being the first of three 'Olympic Class' superliners, RMS Olympic received all the news in 1911. The only reason Titanic made more headlines was because of her tragic ending.
What I find amazing is how, long before the advent of computers, CAD programs, and modern machinery, how they designed, engineered and actually assembled something on this grand a scale in the first place. Also, all those guys hammering on steel plates all day, workzone safety hardly existed, can you image things like the hearing loss, etc. all these guys suffered over the long term? I agree with firestar124, where is all the Titanic footage? Nice vid!
they should of never scrapped the olympic she would of have made one amazing tourist destination imagine going to visit the sister ship of the most famous ship in history :'-( we gotta take good care of nomadic from falling to the scrapyards!!!!
Wow. Keep this kinda stuff coming. But, If they have this footage of Just Olympic, They MUST have some of Titanic considering how much of a marvel she was. I am going to Find those lost clips.
