Previosly on titanic WSL/whitestarline dint even care about to much safety on titanic they juat aded watertigthdoors and juat make the keal duble plated however the duble hull and 64 lifeboats were never added now on britannic they want to just cover it up and make britannic safer by adding things that werent on titanic and upgrading things i still cant belive a single mine sank the britannic in just 55 minites

Well that was cool, It was interesting to hear more about Britannic and not just her sinking. (:

It's strange that the HMHS Britannic was almost exactly the same size as the USN's present day Comfort and Mercy, but was actually significantly _faster_ than those ships despite being about 100 years older.

I suppose it is mainly because Britannic was intended as a fast trans-Atlantic vessel whereas modern hospital ships are purpose built, ans speed is not critical.

Wow, some amazing photos of Britannic! I've never seen the huge davits in use, so that's awesome to see. A very good video sharing insight into the world of hospital ships. Big, portable hospitals will always be of some use.

Been on a Britannic kick lately so this is perfect timing.

Britannic is my favoriete ship she Deserves More love

From my knowledge on Britannic I know that her sinking was photographed and the photos were archived in a museum, however the photos of her demise were destroyed when the place they were stored in was destroyed in a fire from a blitzkrieg. There is only a few photos that survived but sadly all but one are gatekept by some private collectors and the only public photo is right after the final plunge and all you can see in the photo is the Ile of Kea in the background with just the ocean bubbling with dust clouds over the site of the sinking. also, personal opinion: Britannic would have been decent for the white star but in no means as profitable as the Aquitania, plus the increased width of her hull made her pretty slow for a vessel of her size. EDIT: Do take this with a grain of salt, this is just info from what I have heard over the years so don't get your hopes up.

Very informative video. 17:53 Do you know Arthur John Priest? He was a stoker who survived the Olympic and Hawke collision, the sinking of Titanic, Britannic, SS Donegal, HMS Alcantara and the RMS Asturias collision during her maiden voyage. Two other survivors of Titanic, Archie Jewell and Jessop, would survive the sinking of the Britannic with Priest but Jewell died during the sinking of Donegal. After the sinking of Donegal, he retired. Anyways, very well made video and keep up the great work.

if watertight doors were previous closed and portholes ordered close, britannic likely would have saved the ship from foundering. i guess the only upside is she would ahve eventually been scrapped with olympic, so instead we have a well presevered massive olympic class ship stil wiht us....although 400 feet in water XD

Two words to describe Britannic WASTED POTENTIAL.She was meant to be an ocean liner she deserved to be an ocean and it’s sad she met a similar fate to her older sister the Titanic in terms of the fact they both sank. The Britannic could’ve been so much more and the fact White Star Line had the audacity to name a third ship Britannic is sad because they basically decided to forget about the Olympic class liner that could’ve been.

My great great grandpa went on this ship. Thanks for explanation! 👍😀

10:10 so they left the guy behind. DAMN

The Britannic is my favorite hospital ship

Why does the hot cocoa on Britannic sound good fun fact: when I went to the titanic Museum I got a hot cocoa mug that had the white star line flag :) so when I drink hot cocoa from my mug I can remember that britannic served hot cocoa
