The Titanic Sister Ship That History Forgot (97% Survived) | Fall Asleep To | Wreck Atlas

The Titanic Sister Ship That History Forgot (97% Survived) We all know the story of the Titanic—the arrogance, the iceberg, and the 1,500 lives lost. But what if I told you there was a third sister? A ship built to be "unsinkable" after the lessons learned from Titanic’s tragedy. Her name was HMHS Britannic. On November 21, 1916, she sank in the Aegean Sea in just 55 minutes—three times faster than the Titanic. Why did she sink so fast despite her improved safety features? Who was the woman who survived the sinking of both ships (and a major collision on the third)? And why has history largely forgotten the largest hospital ship ever built? Join us as we descend 400 feet into the silence of the Aegean to uncover the secrets of the forgotten sister. In this video, you will discover: The fatal mistakes that caused the "Safest Ship Ever Built" to sink. The terrifying moment lifeboats were pulled into spinning propellers. The incredible story of Violet Jessop, the "Miss Unsinkable." Why the world remembers the tragedy of Titanic but forgets the miracle of Britannic.
