Olympic's Maiden Return Voyage - June 28th - July 5th, 1911

A Month of Magnificence - June 28th - July 5th, 1911 114 years ago this week, Olympic embarked on her Maiden Eastbound voyage from New York to Southampton. Bookings for Olympic outdid that of her main rival, the RMS Mauretania, cementing Olympic as an instant hit with the public. After a brief spout of stormy seas and fog, the Olympic and her complement were greeted with calm seas and sunny skies. A second round of the 'Olympic Games' would take place onboard before the Olympic would arrive back in England. We want to thank everyone for tuning into 'A Month of Magnificence' and to be sure to stay tuned as we continue to tell the stories of the Olympic Class.
