This exquisite silk postcard showcases a captivating image of the HMS Olympic, a magnificent ocean liner that once ruled the waves. Measuring an impressive 882 feet 6 inches in length, the HMS Olympic was the largest ship in the world when it was launched in 1911. With a beam (breadth) of 92 feet 6 inches, this grand vessel boasted a tonnage of 35,027 gross register tons. The HMS Olympic, a sister ship to the ill-fated RMS Titanic, was a pioneer in the realm of transatlantic travel, offering unparalleled comfort and luxury to its passengers. Powered by coal-fired triple expansion engines, the liner could reach impressive speeds of 21.3 knots, making it a favorite among travelers seeking to traverse the Atlantic Ocean in style and efficiency. This rare silk postcard, produced by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd., offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when sea travel was an exciting and glamorous adventure. The intricate details of the HMS Olympic's hull, decks, and smokestacks are beautifully rendered, making this postcard a valuable addition to any collection of maritime history or vintage travel memorabilia. Whether you're an avid collector, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and grandeur of the past, this silk postcard of the HMS Olympic is a must-have. Its vital statistics and stunning visual representation offer a unique window into the world of transport and travel by sea during the early 20th century.
