Description
English: War artist Arthur Lismer captured the return of the troopship SS Olympic (centre) to Halifax harbour following the First World War. Olympic's multi-coloured dazzle camouflage, added in 1917 at the height of the German U-Boat threat, was intended to make the ship more difficult to identify and target. The painting also provides a glimpse of the busy Halifax dockyard, Canada's principal wartime naval base. Pressed into service in 1915, Olympic became one of the war's most famous troop ships. Affectionately known as "Old Reliable," Olympic would carry over 200,000 British, American, and Canadian troops to and from the fighting fronts. this painting is used in schools all across the country for projects and award winning essays.
Українська: Художник-баталіст Артур Лісмер відобразив повернення військового транспортного корабля "Олімпік" (посередині) до гавані Галіфаксу по закінченні Першої світової війни. Барвисті камуфляжні кольори, в які був розфарбований "Олімпік", мали зменшити загрозу від німецьких підводників, створюючи ускладнення для ідентифікації корабля та прицілювання по ньому. Картина також передає діяльну атмосферу верфі в Галіфаксі, головній морській базі Канади в часи Першої світової війни. Поступивши на службу в 1915 році, "Олімпік" став найбільш відомим десантним кораблем. Отримавши популярну назву "Старого Надійного", "Олімпік" міг перевозити понад 200 тис. британських, американських і канадських військових на фронт і назад.
