About the Relic & Process
This relic is a genuine fragment from the deck of the RMS Olympic, the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic, and represents a rare piece of maritime history. Built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast and launched in 1910, the Olympic was part of the White Star Line’s trio of iconic transatlantic liners. Known as the "Old Reliable," the Olympic had a storied career, including service as a troopship during World War I and later returning to transatlantic voyages. The ship continued to sail until her decommissioning and scrapping in 1935.

During the scrapping process, much of the ship’s deck and interior fittings were repurposed. One of the most fascinating chapters in the Olympic's post-service life is the use of her decking as floorboards in the Haltwhistle Paint Factory, located in the UK. In 2004, Aces In Action acquired a series of deck fragments directly from K. Jackson, the former facilities contractor at the Smith & Walton Haltwhistle Paint Factory. These deck fragments, once walked upon by passengers of one of the most famous ocean liners in history, were carefully removed and preserved, offering collectors a unique connection to the Olympic's illustrious past.
