Arrival OLYMPIC 1911 - A Moment in Time Captured on Film
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print captures a pivotal moment in history - the arrival of the RMS Olympic, one of the largest ships in the world at that time. Taken by George Grantham Bain's renowned news agency, Bain News Service, this image is part of their extensive collection documenting life in early 20th century America.
Dated to 1911, this photograph shows the majestic steamship docking at a bustling wharf, its grandeur and size dwarfing the smaller boats surrounding it. The Olympic was one of three sister ships built by Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland - including Titanic and Britannic. This image not only provides insight into maritime history but also offers a glimpse into daily life during this era.
The photograph's stark black and white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the sheer scale of the Olympic conveys its importance as an engineering marvel. As part of Heritage Images' collection, this print is now preserved for future generations to appreciate - offering a unique window into America's past.
