Olympic

The Olympic liner was launched

The final, sixth place in the top is occupied by the Olympic liner.

It has not been able to transport tourists for a long time. This liner is very complicated history, because it was built by Harland and Wolf, which is known as the company that created the Titanic. In addition to the Olympic, one class of ocean super-liners also included the Titanic and Britannic. "Olympic" is a class of ocean liners created at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The Olympic liner was launched in 1910, and already in 1911 it successfully made its first voyage.

Main characteristics

Length: 269 m.
Width 30 m.
Speed 21 knots.

The Olympic liner transported people, survived several accidents, and fought during the First World War. But in 1935, on October 11, he set off on his last voyage, leaving the port of Southampton.

A cruise on a liner is one of the most popular types recreation, popular for more than a century. You can buy a ticket for the Mediterranean liner through the official website of the liner or through a tour operator. A vacation on a transatlantic ship promises to be comfortable and will give you a lot of impressions.

On the night of April 14-15, 1912, the Titanic sank. At that time it was the largest ocean liner in the world.

Today, the Titanic would not be included in the top 50 largest passenger ships. Modern airliners are much larger and more luxurious.
