Message: [QUOTE="Thomas Krom, post: 442823, member: 162881"] Good day to you, The Olympic reached Belfast on the 1st of March 1912 and departed from Belfast on the 7th of March 1912. There were indeed slight problems due the weather after the Olympic was undocked from the Thompson graving dock. The tugboats were not quite able to handle the Olympic satisfactorily in the channel due the strong winds. It was advised, to make sure that no problems were caused, that the Olympic was placed back into the Thompson Graving dock, since there was no other berth that could accommodate her. However the Olympic remained undamaged and left for Southampton as soon as the weather became more tame. It is false however that the Olympic touched a sandbank when she got out of the channel. I hope this answers a few of your questions. Yours sincerely, Thomas [/QUOTE]
