Hawke Collision Damage Control

[Scott Mills]

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of where I might information on any 'damage control' done by the crew of the Olympic after her collision with HMS Hawke. Any idea where one would look to find this information, be that archive, book, or article?

Hi Scott: I imagine watertight doors were closed but if you are looking for collision mats, here’s a photo of Olympic after the collision and nothing is rigged.

See chapter VIII in:

Indeed. I had seen some of these photographs before, and I must admit our conversation in the other thread lead me, in part, to creating this thread; however, I also kind of thought that maybe understanding how Olympic's crew reacted to the damage could give some insight generally on what might have been done, or attempted, on Titanic.

Thanks, Sam!
