Creator's Key Takeaways
titanic and olympic were built side by side at harland wolf and it was olympic which was completed first and sailed on a maiden voyage in june 1911.
the olympic class were designed from the outset as a trio of ships as it was obvious that three massive steamers would be required to maintain a regular weekly schedule across the atlantic.
it's really easy to think of titanic today in between all of her incidents and accidents during and after the war as an unlucky ship but it's well worth thinking back to the start of her career way back on her maiden voyage when she encountered that iceberg late at night.

Why make this video? Titanic holds a strange place in popular culture; she was a mostly evolutionary ocean liner but has been mythologised almost beyond belief. By changing the story to save Titanic from the iceberg, she becomes just another ship and fades into history and we can see the ship in a slightly more honest light. 2. What is the Epilogue about? Are you a conspiracy theorist? Definitely not. The Epilogue was a quick way for me to show how the imagery used in this video had been stitched together from snaps of Olympic and that her sister lived a full and varied career while Titanic sat rusting on the ocean floor.
