R.M.S. OLYMPIC (limited edition: 25 pieces)
Olympic was sister ship to the Titanic and became a troopship after the outbreak of WW1. With the Gallipoli campaign, she was used as a hospital ship but became a troop transport again to bring troops across the Atlantic and was given a dazzle pattern as a defence against submarine attack. together with 6x6 inch guns. The model shows this state. (In 1918 the camouflage was changed again) The ship had carried over 200,000 soldiers by the end of the war, survived many dangers and rammed and sank a German U-boat (U 103). As the only one of the three White Star sister ships to survive, she was given the nickname, "Old Reliable". After the war, the ship was converted to oil firing and into a luxurious passenger ship again. Until 1935 she still sailed the Southampton - New York route but with the completion of motor ship, RMS Britannic and the merger with the Cunard Line, she was withdrawn in 1937 then scrapped.
