The Olympic, seen here docked in Halifax, was a sister ship of the Titanic. Its hull shows the dazzle-painting technique, a form of camouflage.

"The Olympic, which has carried so many of the Canadians over, docked here last week. It was a magnificent sight."

— Arthur Lismer, Canadian First World War artist
