HMHS Britannic departed from Southampton for Lemnos on its sixth voyage. At approximately 8:15 AM on November 21, some 2 miles (3 km) from Kéa island, Greece, an explosion occurred on the ship. Initial reports suggested the cause as either a mine or a torpedo, though later evidence pointed to a mine. (In October a German U-boat had laid mines in the area.) Although damage was extensive, only six of the watertight compartments flooded, and the ship remained afloat. As the ship listed, water began to enter open portholes on the starboard side. In an attempt to beach the ship off Kéa, Capt. Charles Bartlett ordered full speed. The movement, however, caused more water to enter the ship, and Bartlett quickly ordered the engines stopped. At approximately 9:07 AM the Britannic sank. (While the Titanic took 2 hours and 40 minutes to founder, the Britannic was lost in about 55 minutes.) Several boats came to rescue the survivors, including the Scourge and Heroic. Despite the speed of its sinking, only 30 people were killed. More than 1,030 were saved.
