What Happened to the Titanic's Sister Ship, the Olympic? Was She Scrapped Too After World War II? If Not, Where Is She Now?

The Olympic, the sister ship of the ill-fated Titanic, had a long and varied career, unlike her infamous sibling. Constructed in the same Belfast shipyard as the Titanic, the Olympic entered service in 1911 and served as a transatlantic passenger liner for the White Star Line.

During the First World War, the Olympic was requisitioned as a troop carrier, transporting over 200,000 soldiers to various war zones. After the war, she resumed her passenger service, becoming one of the most popular ships on the North Atlantic route.

In contrast to the Titanic's tragic fate, the Olympic's career ended peacefully. She was retired from service in 1935 and sold for scrap. However, instead of being immediately dismantled, she was first used as a floating entertainment venue in Southampton, England.

In 1937, the Olympic was finally scrapped in Jarrow, England. Her engines and other valuable components were salvaged and reused in other ships, while her hull was broken up into scrap metal.
