After vetting these two memes I found that they're not entirely accurate. The clarifications are in green italic from Wikipedia...
The story was still in popular print circulation in 1942, was popularized by an article in the magazine Ships and the Sea in 1953, and was in online circulation on social media in 2024. However, the navigational technology of the time was not accurate enough to have fixed her position so precisely. Whether Warrimoo ever achieved the feat claimed cannot be verified.
RMS Olympic (1911): Aboard when it collided with the British warship HMS Hawke. The ship was damaged but did not sink, and everyone survived safely.
RMS Titanic (1912): Survived the famous sinking after hitting an iceberg, escaping in lifeboat 16.
HMHS Britannic (1916): Survived the sinking after hitting a German naval mine during World War I, jumping from a lifeboat to avoid the spinning propellers.
The hyperbole of that generation. Made for good print!
