Olympic in the New York Times

Hey everyone,

While I was doing research for my Olympic paper, I happened to find the New York Time’s index for every year from 1870-Present. So I looked through to find Olympic articles and found over 230 articles throughout. They are all posted below, just incase you have access to the NY Times on microfilm. I most likely missed some, so if you have any other post them here! Some of the articles are fascinating reads and gives you detailed description of events that you cannot find anywhere else. Though I noticed you have to do some fact checking on some of the information. I hope you get a chance to check some out.

Hey Mark,

How have you been? I have seen a lot of them on the board, I must commend you....I get tired of transcribing very quick, some of those article take a long time. I loved reading about the maiden voyage. Have you been able to find any article on Olympic's time at Inverkeithing?

-Trent
 
Hello, again, Trent---

I'll have to check on that. I know I have an article about her arrival at Jarrow, but I don't recall having found one yet about her final demolition at Inverkeithing. If not, I'll check on that the next time I do some microfilm reading.
 
I've read through the NYT reports of the beginning of World War I in August 1914 and have copies of a great many articles (including these two) in my files. There's quite a bit about the disruption of shipping in general, and White Star's ships in particular. Fascinating stuff.
