The RMS Olympic did not sink. It was the sistership of the famous ill-fated liner, the RMS Titanic. The Olympic went on to serve as a warship in WWI, then returned to being a lavish passenger liner until the 1930's, when the Olympic (nicknamed "Old Reliable") was sold, and scrapped.

There is also a lesser-known sistership of the Titanicand Olympic, named the Britannic. It was supposed to be bigger and more luxurious than the Titanic, but, just before it set sail, WWI broke out, and the Britannic had to be used as a hospital ship, rather than a luxury passenger liner. So all of the Britannic's lavish interior was stripped and replaced with hospital equipment. The HMHS Britannic was sunk by either a torpedo or a sea mine (no one knows for sure) in the Mediterranean Sea.

Also, just one more thing, something that's kind of cool to know, is that Captain Edward Smith captained both the Olympic and the Titanic (he planned to retire after the Titanic came back to England from New York, but, as we know, he died aboard the Titanic). Also, a stewardess named Violet Jessop worked aboard the Olympic when a ship named the Hawke rammed into the Olympic's side (neither of the ships sank). Jessop was also a stewardess aboard the Titanic when the Titanic sank, and she survived... only to become a nurse aboard the Britannic. She also survived that shipwreck.
