Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The White Star Line commissioned three almost identical ships from the Harland and Wolfe yards in Belfast!. The first to be launched was the Olympic in 1911!. Despite two serious collisions in her career she was in service for 24 years!. She was retired in 1935 and broken up for scrap in 1937!. The Titanic was launched in 1912 and sank the same year!. The Gigantic, still on the blocks when the Titanic sank, was renamed Britannic before her launch in 1914!. Whilst still under construction she was taken over by the Royal Navy and used as a hospital ship during the First World War!. In December 1915 she struck a mine (or was possibly torpedoed) off the Greek siland of Kea and sank!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yes, it was a ship!.!.!. it looked similar to the titanic, and built shortly after the titanic was completed!.
