Titanic History | Divers Recover Artifacts From Titanic's Sister Ship Britannic For The First Time

Описание: Divers have recovered artifacts from the Britannic, sister ship to the Titanic, for the first time since the ocean liner sank in the Aegean Sea more than a century ago after striking a mine during World War I.

Greece’s Culture Ministry announced Monday that an 11-member deep-sea diving team conducted a week-long operation in May to recover the artifacts, which include the ship’s bell, and the port-side navigation light.

Designed as a luxury cruise liner and launched in 1914, the White Star Line’s Britannic was requisitioned as a hospital ship during the First World War and was heading towards the island of Lemnos when it struck a mine and sank off the island of Kea, about 75 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of Athens, on Nov. 21, 1916.
