Artefacts recovered from Titanic's sunk sister ship

Artefacts recovered from Titanic's sunk sister ship

The Greek Ministry of Culture has announced the recovery of several artifacts from the wreck of HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of the ill-fated RMS Titanic. The Britannic sank in 1916 after striking a mine in the Aegean Sea during World War I. The recovered items include a ship's bell and a pair of binoculars, both of which were found in the wreck, which lies at a depth of approximately 400 feet. The artifacts have been transported to a Greek museum for preservation and study. The Britannic, which was serving as a hospital ship at the time of its sinking, went down with the loss of 30 lives. The wreck has been the subject of numerous exploration and salvage operations over the years, with the latest recovery efforts being conducted by a team of Greek and international divers. The discovery of these artifacts provides a rare glimpse into the history of the Britannic and the events that led to its tragic demise.
