Newsreel footage of the R.M.S. Olympic as it begins its transatlantic crossings in 1911. This reel includes probably the most famous shots incorrectly attributed to Titanic when in actual fact it is Olympic a year earlier, likely filmed during the summer months (Captain Smith is in his summer uniform).

The reel also included shots of ships that are neither Olympic or Titanic and these have been removed.  For more information on this refer to: http://www.williammurdoch.net/article...

Original newsreel footage has been converted into HD and audio recreated.

0:32 Captain EJ Smith, in summer uniform, on the starboard wing bridge of the Olympic.  The name on the bulkhead has been later inked out frame by frame to suggest it was filmed on Titanic. Smith is noticeably uncomfortable about being filmed and wanders around nervously, smiling at the camera at the end.

1:05 A medium close up of Captain Smith with the bridge and wheel house behind him and to his left is a pedestal for a pelorus, a dial with a sighting device on top enables one to sight an object and determine what angle it is to the bow of the ship.

1:12 A close up of one of Titanic's "loud-speaking navy phones" most likely in the wheel house, used for communicating with the forecastle, crow's nest, engine room and the poop.

1:23  A steering telegraph, likely on the stern bridge.

1:34 A wonderful view of Olympic's port boat deck, with lifeboats in clear view

1:59 Second class promenade deck, with passengers

2:17 A view of Olympic's stern area, an area where third class passengers were able to "promenade".

3:19 A view of the rear of Olympic's promenade decks, with passengers

3:46 Olympic departing from pier 59 in New York with crowds of people watching.  Unlike in Southampton, in New York the Olypmpic had to reverse out from the pier.

4:00 Tugs help the Olympic to reverse out into the Hudson River from Pier 59 in New York.  The names of the tugs have been inked out to create a deception that these shots are of Titanic.

4:28 A wide shot of Olympic on the Hudson River, ready to depart for England.
