The RMS Titanic had two sister ships, one of which it resembled, the RMS Olympic. Its other sister, the HMHS Britannic, was converted into a hospital ship durning World War I. All three ships were built as Olympic-class ocean liners for the White Star Line. The Titanic sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg and the Britannic sank in 1916 after hitting an underwater mine. The Olympic was retired in 1935.
