The RMS Olympic, converted to His Majesty's Transport (HMT), carried over 200,000 troops and personnel during World War I, making about 200,000 transatlantic trips, primarily ferrying American and Canadian soldiers to Europe and bringing them home, solidifying its reputation as "Old Reliable" for its resilience and vital role in troop movement. While its capacity per trip was around 6,000 soldiers, its total service involved massive numbers across many voyages. #history #ww #art #travel #photogr
