The Fate of the Three Cursed Sister Ships

It was the biggest ocean disaster, causing 1,500 deaths, and the sad reason why the Titanic remains the most famous ship to this day. However, what is far less known these days is that the Titanic had two almost identical sister ships: the Olympic and the Britannic.
