  • pretty good presentation! You obtained some very good and somewhat rarely known info, however Olympic never sunk. She actually had a successful full career and was scraped in Jarrow, England in the 1930's. Also Cunard is pronounced "Que-nard".

  • OH! That make so much sence. I thought it sank. I knew it was scraped by another ship, and everyone survived but i thought it sank

  • The Olympic had quite a long career and became known as "Old Reliable," a nickname she had during WWI when she carried troops. Olympic, like many aging liners, were victims of The Depression. They were sold off to ship breakers to create jobs.

  • Ya, I was thinking that when she got scraped she sunk. I knew regardless that all the passengers surrvied and that she was the only ship to have a full careers. Thanks for the info.

  • @1909RMSTitanic1912 I know. The 3rd happened to be the last ship of the White Star to be scrapped. But I know none of the others sank during WW1 except the 2nd.

  • @Sugerloadedgirl789 do your research, please. White star named 3 ships Britannic. First one in the laste 1800's. The second. is the one you're thinking about. And the thrid in 1930's.

  • @MrDMTVProductionz white star named three ships Britannic.

  • Soz 103

  • Britanic looks different...at 1:04

  • cool but i thought titanic left from southampton cus i saw the dock she was morred in

  • thats not how you pronounce cunard

  • @Fatstratmatt96 I partially agree belfast the southampton where she was given her first set of passengers then to france then ireland then sunk before reaching newyork.

  • @coolcon96 and @ClubPenguinMovies123 Titanic went from Belfast, Ireland (where she was built), to Cherbourg, France (to pick up passengers), to Southampton, England (more passengers) before setting out for New York. It may have gone to another town between Belfast and Southampton to pick up passengers, but I'm not quite sure. Hope that helps though. :)

  • um... Britannic sank DURING WW1, she was heading through the Aegean sea and well... struck a mine and sank after 55 minutes
