During World War I, RMS Olympic, sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic, served a pivotal role as a troop transport and hospital ship for the British Navy. Renowned for her speed and size, she ferried thousands of Allied troops across the Atlantic to the European theater, evading German U-boats due to her civilian status and painted dazzle camouflage. Later converted into a hospital ship, Olympic transported wounded soldiers back to Britain, embodying resilience amid wartime peril. Her service underscored the adaptability of civilian liners in wartime roles, contributing significantly to Allied war efforts and earning admiration for her bravery and endurance.
