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

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.
