EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment the iconic RMS Olympic, the premier troopship of the First World War, arrives in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1919. Painted with dazzle camouflage, the Olympic was a vital lifeline for Canada, transporting an impressive 70,000 Canadian soldiers to Europe during the war. With a cargo of 6,000 troops on board, the ship's arrival was a significant event in the city's history. The Olympic was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner in the world before the sinking of her sister ship, the Titanic, in 1912. However, during the war, she was converted into a troopship and put to use in the transportation of troops and supplies. The use of dazzle camouflage, a design intended to confuse and disorient enemy submarines, was a common tactic used to protect these vital vessels. The arrival of the Olympic in Halifax marked the end of one journey and the beginning of another for these brave Canadian soldiers. They were about to embark on a long and uncertain voyage across the Atlantic, ready to contribute to the ongoing conflict in Europe. This historic moment is captured in this powerful photograph, a testament to the courage and resilience of those who served during the First World War.
