The Sinking of Britannic - Titanic’s Forgotten Sister Ship

In November 1916 the hospital ship Britannic was steaming off the island of Kea, Greece when there was a sudden explosion. The ship had stumbled straight into a mine laid by a German U-Boat and what followed was a frantic fight for survival. This is the full story of the third Olympic Class liner - often overlooked but still a very worthy vessel that, if she had survived the war, would have become the White Star Line’s golden child and one of the finest ships in history.
