Launched in 1914, two years after the ill-fated voyage of her sister ship, RMS Titanic , the Britannic was intended to be superior to her tragic twin in every way. But war intervened and in 1915 she was requisitioned as a hospital ship. Just one year later, while on her way to collect troops wounded in the Balkans campaign, she fell victim to a mine laid by a German U-boat and tragically sank in the middle of the Aegean Sea. There her wreck lay, at a depth of 400 feet, until it was discovered 59 years later by legendary explorer Jacques Cousteau. In 1996 the wreck was bought by the author of this book, Simon Mills. Exploring the Britannic tells the complete story of this enigmatic ship: her construction, launch and life, her fateful last voyage, and the historical findings resulting from the exploration of the well-preserved wreck over a period of 40 years. With remarkable sonar scans and many never before seen photographs of the wreck, plus fold-out sections of the original Harland & Wolff ship plans, not previously published in their entirety, Exploring the Britannic finally details how the mysteries surrounding the 100-year-old enigma were laid to rest, and what the future might also hold for her.

Review: Incredible history book - This is one of the most engaging books of a ship wreck I have ever read. The author is the current owner of the wreck and he was able to meld the history of the ships construction, sinking, and discovery into an amazing story. Incredible photographs and portraits are included. The book fills in any gaps created through the various television documentaries.

Recommend to all people interested in maritime history *by R***N on March 23, 2019* A great history of the Titanic's equally tragic sister, "Britannic" - She was never to carry a single paying passenger and never to reach New York, during the "Great War" she was converted into a hospital ship and was sunk by a mine - and Simon Mills tells her story - along with a lot of great photographs and plans of the ship. Recommend it to all of you who are interested in maritime history. ## Frequently Bought Together - Exploring the Britannic: The life, last voyage and wreck of Titanic's tragic twin - Olympic Titanic Britannic: The anatomy and evolution of the Olympic Class - Olympic, Titanic, Britannic: An Illustrated History of the Olympic Class Ships --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/109457421-exploring-the-britannic-the-life-last-voyage-and-wreck-titanics](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/109457421-exploring-the-britannic-the-life-last-voyage-and-wreck-titanics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
