HMHS Britannic was the third and largest of the White Star Line's Olympic-class of vessels. She was the sister ship of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, and was intended to enter service as the transatlantic passenger liner, RMS Britannic. The White Star Line used Britannic as the name of two other ships: SS Britannic (1874), holder of the Blue Riband, and MV Britannic (1929), a motor liner, scrapped in 1960.

Britannic was launched just before the start of World War I and was laid up at her builders, Harland and Wolff, in Belfast for many months before being put to use as a hospital ship in 1915. She was shaken by an explosion, caused by an underwater mine, in the Kea Channel off the Greek island of Kea on the morning of November 21, 1916, and sank 55 minutes later, resulting in the loss of 30 people.

There were 1,065 people on board; the 1,035 survivors were rescued from the water and lifeboats. Britannic was the largest ship lost in World War I. The vessel is also currently the largest passenger ship on the sea floor.

This story will include the last voyage, the sinking, the aftermath, and the shipwreck. I hope you'll like this!
