  • Description: The Cunard-White Star limited liner RMS Olympic, sister to the Titanic, passes very close aboard to the LV-117 on the Nantucket station in early January 1934. The light ship had been rammed already once that year in the fog, and the following May the Olympic actually collided with LV-117 and sent it to the bottom in seconds. Four crewmen went down with the ship while the Olympic rescued the remaining seven crewmen. Three of these men died later from injuries and exposure. The British Government paid for the construction of LV 112 as reparation for the accident. ref: US coast Guard
