The White Star Line Olympic was the sister ship of the Titanic. She had an eventful career by first colliding with the Royal Navy cruiser Hawke, on her 5th voyage, and also ramming a German 'U' Boat during World War 1. She backed into the Fort St. George in New York harbour in 1924, and took out the Nantucket Light Ship in 1934.
The Olympic did, however, assist with the rescue of the crew of the Battleship Audacious after the battleship hit a mine. The Olympic tried to tow the sinking battleship but the tow lines kept parting.

The design of ship si518 is the same as si514.
