Olympic on the left and Titanic on the right. Olympic had damaged a propeller and was coming into dry dock to get it replaced.

Olympic 's propeller and shaft was damaged in a collision with HMS Hawke . To speed up repairs, she got Titanic's propeller and shaft, delaying Titanic 's completion by several weeks. She was under the command of future Titanic captain E. J. Smith. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Olymp…

Olympic rammed and sank a German U-boat in World War I, the only ship of its kind ever to do so. In drydock after the war they found a dent in the hull most likely caused by a dud torpedo. Olympic got all the luck her sisters lacked.
