About this site
HMHS Britannic was a hospital ship in the First World War and a sister ship of the Titanic. She sank in 1916 after hitting a mine laid by a German submarine, and now lies near Kea Island in the Aegean Sea.
The wreck is 270 metres long, the largest intact passenger ship on the seabed, discovered in 1975. She rests at about 100 metres, so only technical divers with the right permits can visit her.
