what boat is the sister of the titanic?????

Answer 1

I believe it was the Olympia.

Answer 2

The answers above are correct: There were not two, but THREE sister ships:, the Titanic, the Britannic and the Olympic.

We all know of the sinking of the Titanic; the Britannic became a hospital ship in the First World War. On its sixth trip, it was sunk in the Aegean. There is some dispute as to the cause: it was sunk either by a German U-boat (submarine), or by striking an explosive mine.

Below is an EXCELLENT website to start to read about the three ships. It has details about the contsruction of the vessels, and their histories, and fates.

Good luck,

Answer 3

Titanic had two sisters one the RMS OLYMPIC looked exactly like the titanic except the promenade deck was open were on titanic it was plated in. The other sister was Brittanic she would never serve as a liner as she was used as a Hospital ship in WW1 and sunk when she hit a sub laid mine. She differed from Titanic in that she would have water tight doors that went all the way up to the main deck and she would have new boat cranes that could handle the new large lifeboats she would carry.

Answer 4

The Olympic
The Britannic
The Titanic was the second of three large liners intended to work the Southampton-New York "shuttle" service. The sister ships were planned to be near identical.

Answer 5

The WHITE STAR LINE built three sister ships of the "OLYMPIC" class. All three ships were to be named after Greek 'Gods', OLYMPIC, TITANIC, and GIGANTIC. After the sinking of the TITANIC, the second ship built, the White Star Line had second thoughts of continuing of 'flying in the face of Greek Gods', and renamed the the third ship which was still underconstruction and not officially named yet BRITANNIC. All three involved in serious incidents, two disasterous, and yes, White Star Line employee Violet Jessop survived ALL three, her most serious injury was a cracked skull during the sinking of the BRITANNIC. The BRITANNIC, (never carried paying passengers), was hit by a mine during WW1 as it was being used a hospital transport ship in the Mediterranean. The OLYMPIC being the only successful of the three, being in service for many years as a luxury passenger liner before being acquired by it's competition CUNARD LINE and retired from service, then scrapped. The OLYMPIC is also the ONLY liner to sink an enemy vessel, as it purposely rammed, and sunk a German submarine during WW1.

Answer 6

White Star Line RMS Olympic 1911-1935

Answer 7

RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic are the sisters.

The Olympic in fact was the first to be launched and then the Titanic. The Titannic and the Britannic sank while the Olympic lasted 2 decades until being retired.

Answer 8

The Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic were all sister ships.

Answer 9

That would be the R.M.S. Olympic.

It should be "ship," by the way - a "boat" is a vessel that can be brought on board another vessel. Submarines are called boats because they can be brought onto a sub tender. More info than you ever wanted to know, probably, but far be it from me to be less than thorough ;-)

Answer 10

the answers of Britanic and Olympic are correct.......White Star Line ships names always ended in "ic" and Cunard, untill the Queen Mary in "ia"......

ICE 444 gets the most correct answer.........in that he named Britanic, not as an RMS ( Royal Mail Steamer) but as HMHS, which she was.....His Majesties Hospital Ship....she was requistioned for WW1, right off the builders ways, never sailed as a passenger steamer, struck a mine in the Aegean, thankfully empty of wounded, and went down like a rock......

Answer 11

Olympic
