I am looking for the travel plan / time table of S / S Olympic, a ship of the White Star Line with its ports of destination Southampton and Cherbourg in Europe. I have a cover from USA that was carried by S / S Olympic and is postmarked New York 30.07.1924, 7:30 PM. I would be interested in when the ship had arrived in Southampton and Cherbourg in Europe.
On 12 May 1918, the Olympic rammed and sank the U-boat U-103 which had tried, and failed, to torpedo her. The torpedo actually struck Olympic but failed to detonate. However several bow plates on Olympic were dented from the collision with the U-boat. Later, while the Olympic was in Dry Dock, a large circular-shaped dent was found in the side of her hull, appearing to be the same size as the head of the standard torpedoes used by the German U-Boats.
