RMS Olympic was the legendary ocean liner - and sister to the RMS Titanic - that served as a troopship for the British Royal Navvy during the first world war - but when the war was over and the guns were silent, what happened to the great ship? After HMHS Britannic was lost, Olympic was the sole surviving Olympic-class ocean liner and her owners, the White Star Line, had to work hard to ensure she remained a popular choice on the transatlantic service in the face of stiff competition from RMS Mauretania, RMS Aquitania and others.
