Titanic's sister ship to become underwater tourist site

[ringofan25]

dont turn it it into a museum your disturbing thoughs who died on Britannic

[MrMatbri]

it was about 16 people that died ive been a titanic buff 4 30 years so i know brittanic di dnot look the same as u say i did

[MrMatbri]

you may b right on the length but not on the width or my book on the ships plans r wrong? i dont know

[LyniixAssassin2k10]

@MrMatbri you were also wrong about britannic looking the same, she was almost the same but the stern was different and life boat positions on all 3 ships were different

[MrMatbri]

@LyniixAssassin2k10 ididnt say thay looked the same and 1000 people didnt diie on her

[LyniixAssassin2k10]

@MrMatbri look at the comment you posted to mrwitmore, you did say they looked the same, and if your so clever, how many people did die on britannic then

[WatchdogDisciple]

Hmm Its shallow enough.......She's still mostly a full entire ship......But is the material too brittle? If she can stand the strain without turning into dust then raise her.

[LyniixAssassin2k10]

@WatchdogDisciple you wouldnt be able to raise her for 2 reasons:

1) when she hit the sea floor, she landed on her side and the bow broke from the middle section of the ship, plus theres no saying what damage there could be on the side of the ship that you cant see

2) to raise a ship that size would be expensive and properly not worth it, plus its a grave for over 1000 people and there would be a lot of objection to raise her.

[WatchdogDisciple]

@LyniixAssassin2k10 Hmm true. It still is a shame though seeing these beautiful ships decentigrate into nothing but memories as the years go by. At least we are able to salvage things like the bells and whistles ant other key components of ships.

[sw201444]

@LyniixAssassin2k10 only 30 people died on Britannic

[PokeworksStudios]

I've read in a book; a man survived ALL THREE of the disasters :O

[krugerfuchs]

violet jessop is her name fortwaba she also was on olympic when it collided with hms hawke that was first then titanic then britannic

[theExtreMichaelFan]

how big is it

[TheMrWhitmore]

@theExtreMichaelFan if you mean the britannic: it's a big bigger. longer and heavier and not as small as the titanic



[theExtreMichaelFan]

@TheMrWhitmore  no

[Sarasdad91]

@TheMrWhitmore The RMS Titanic was 882.9 feet long. 94 feet wide. The HMHS Britannic was 882.9 feet long and 94 feet wide. The same size as the Titanic, but she was heavier than the Titanic. Bit for all she was, she looked exactly like the Titanic. All 3 Olympic class ships looked the same.

[MrMatbri]

@Sarasdad91 wrong britannic was 2 feet longer and wider because of the double skin

[Sarasdad91]

@MrMatbri No I'm not wrong. The registry lists the Britannic as the same length. Look it up!

[megadog103]

@Sarasdad91 Titanic had a bit of a curvy front at the "bridge" Olympic and Britannic had straight bridges;)

[ursuss100]

@theExtreMichaelFan The Olympic class boats (Olympic, Titanic and Britannic) were about 270m long and 25m wide if i'm right.

[theExtreMichaelFan]

are u on the titanic's sis

[Hueytown63]

why not just raise it.

[ImIzudDeeN]

this at antartica??

[MrMrfazle]

didn't the britanic get hit by a torpedo and then sunk?

[Barricade360]

@MrMrfazle no the brittanic struck a mine and sank fairly quickly

[ShipWreckAndHaloFan]

1:09 what the hell kind of voice is that didnt he hit puberty yet?maybe he is justin bieber´s uncle. just sayin

[Hogan31500]

she was torprdoad

[woodwind538]

I watched a documentary "Titanic's Tragic Sister" and it said that her captain was or is the only captain to see his sgip built, launched, and sink right before is eyes. I thought that was realy sad. And when the boats got slaughtered to a bloody pulp from the propellers made me feel sick and have nightmares :'(

[77elvistheking]

Hms Victoria is being standing vertical under the sea for more than 115 years.

I think{and hope} titanic will be with us for years to come.Britannic and Carpathia can be raised with billions of dollars.Titanic cant.I hope sometime they will raise those other 2 to keep titanic alive even when it will be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManWhoLovesTheMary]

When the Queen Mary was being built in the 1930's, Cunard and White Star Line merged to become Cunard White Star. The company is now known simply as Cunard, but I bet if they really wanted to, Cunard could fight for the rights of the Britannic since it is a "[Cunard] White Star Line" predecessor. Wonder how that would turn out...

[architecturalabdabs]

@ManWhoLovesTheMary

Quite simply they would lose badly, as the white star line had nothing to do with cunard until the uk government enfored the 2 companys to merge 1934.

Cunard simply don't have a legal claim, and white star line were paid by the government for the loss.

[iksproduction]

I would love to go down to see here! :) maybe one day :)

[phantomphan77]

I'd sell my soul..........no, wait. Let me rephrase that. I'd sell my BROTHERS soul to take a dive down to that beauty. MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmm.

[64MojoMan]

Titanic.Brittanic.Olympic(seen nest to titanic being built).Luistannia

[ShadowGuardian3337]

@64MojoMan Do NOT lump the Lusitania in with the three sister ships! The Lusitania was NOT a White Star Liner! She was a CUNARD Liner a RIVAL company to White Star!

[krugerfuchs]

violet jessop was on olympic when it hit the hawk, titanic's maiden voyage and britannic when it struck the mine

[thewindow6]

I don't like the idea of using the Britannic as a tourist attraction. it should be remembered, not displayed!!!

[LilBulldogJunior]

its stupid,buying a ship that has been underwater!!!! its a graveyard,to be honest,noone can own it,its crazy,people who had owned it are dead now, it really pisses me off,who gave them rights to buy it? i dont care what's written anywhere! THOSE SHIPS SHOULD BELONG TO NATURE ITSELF! i only wish that someone would pick them up from the water,and put them into some museum or whatever,taking care of them of course, in a few yrs,they'll be gone,titanic is almost gone...

[krugerfuchs]

@Kevintube18 they're not stupid show respect

[sniperman003]

@Kevintube18 your an ass just to let you know

[Kevintube18]

@sniperman003 titanic sucks..stupid ship belongs underwater

[sniperman003]

@Kevintube18 like i said your a ass who doesn't care about history

[sniperman003]

@Kevintube18 Also I hope they raise it to make you pissed

[Kevintube18]

@sniperman003 can't raise a rusty ship lol

[pikdik]

no one owns the titanic it is in an area that is well it has an agreement by the surronding countries that its not to be touched with out certain regulations and reguirments but no one owns it any more

[krugerfuchs]

@pikdik rms titanic inc owns her they claimed her under maritime law which idiot bob ballard failed to do

[Dirtboy101]

I would totally do that

[rangerbob9999]

frankly id love to see her raised and repaired and turned into a museum hell id even help lol

[iRHAPEzombiies]

who owns titanic?

[AceofSpades462]

white star line owned it beforer it sunk

[core1435]

Britanic not Titanic

[pistonsfreak3]

it didnt sink from hitting a german mine, it was shot by a torpedo from a U-Boat on purpose

[AROBASPARK]

@pistonsfreak3 There where no German subs in the area during the time Britannic sank. It was known however that there was a sub in the are, U-73(a mine layer) & it put 12 mines in October, the month before Britannic was lost. U73's captain was called in by the Brits after the war & he had no doubt Britannic struck a Mine.

2 years ago, a egg like shell was found crack open in Britannic's debris field, close to the coordinates of the explosion & location of one of the moored mines.

[raymondleeleggs]

I actually Have an Idea for a book and movie,where the HMHS Britannic is raised for the Titanic Centenial and then Stolen by an evil corporation bent on destroying New orleans by ramming it into the levee, in order to cover up the fact they were improperly storing toxic waste (I was Bored when I came up with the plot)

[BarryDennen12]

Raise it. Honestly, no more of this "sacred site", "too technologically difficult" nonsense.  Cut it to pieces, raise it, chuck it together in Belfast again.

Bingo!

[Yelsent]

This. Fucking this.

[poofythebassplayer21]

i agree

[dominictjeh]

lol if they w8ted a vew weeks they had an raddar so no exident thy are to dumd fore going so fast

[LKizzy01]

they better not take people down! its war grave and should be treated as such! seriously people!

[JulyForToday]

Then how are people going to remember what happened there? Maybe we shouldn't let people go to ground zero in new york too.

I personally would love to go on one of these expeditions if I was ever in greece.

[Fortwaba]

You guys know that there was a 3rd ship, too, right?

Well, there was this woman who survived the Titanic, and became a nurse. Guess what? She went on to serve on the Britannic here, and survived AGAIN when this one went down.

[calumknight1984]

She was also on the Olympic when it struck a warship and was sent back to the yard for repairs, which coincidentally was why the titanic took the new york trip instead :)

[napoleonbonarparte]

@Fortwaba, I think she also was on the Olympic when that was damaged in an unlucky accident with HMS Hawk (I think it was Hawk).

[jerseystar1]

@Fortwaba She was miss Violet Jessop, she was aboard of the Olympic when she crashes into Hawke cruser, she was among the crew of the Titanic and of the Britannic as well when it sunks.

[Titan52berg]

@Fortwaba Her name was Violet Jessop.

[titanicnerd02]

@Fortwaba Yes, this woman's name was Violet Jessop. She was onboard all three of the Olympic Class vessels during times of crisis. First she was on the Olympic when she had the fiasco with the HMS Hawke, then She was a stewardess onboard the Titanic's only voyage, and then she signed up for duties during World War I and was put onboard the HMHS Britannic on her last crossing.

[DaNnYbLaZeR]

@Fortwaba Her name is Violet Jessop. She was on the olympic when it had an accident with the HMS Hawke. She later boarded the titanic and survived the sinking. And yes as you say it she also survived the britannic sinking:) She was just unsinkable.

[Kerrylette]

@Fortwaba

even funnier: she was on the olympic's maiden voyage when the ship had her wreck, then the titanic, then the britannic.

[ShipWreckAndHaloFan]

@Fortwaba not really a surprise that she survived most people did survive only 30 people died in like 1,150 people in the ship

[pokemonrulez121]

@ShipWreckAndHaloFan i researched it it was over 450 people survied

[ShipWreckAndHaloFan]

@pokemonrulez121 yea so no wonder she survived

[pokemonrulez121]

@ShipWreckAndHaloFan but over 1,000 people died

[ShipWreckAndHaloFan]

@pokemonrulez121 i thought only 30 people died its in the video the man says it

[starwarsfandude]

@Fortwaba AND she was on the RMS Olympic when the she collided with the HMS Hawke before the Titanic sailed.

[Jeff12798]

@Fortwaba Lawl

[kevista117]

Their might actally be another Titanic Movie. Except this time it should be based on her sistership Britanic. I think they will make "rose" become a nurse during WW1 and she will end up serving on Britanic and go through the whole sinking all over again.

[rocko0333]

i thought the britanic sank by a torpedo

[RealDeal336]

titanic 2 will be commin in 2012 i think

[WamsWarrior]

Ti tanic 2 is a fake.

[cursedveng122]

@WamsWarrior if thirs a ship yes it could be fake but in england thirs a movie called titanic 2

[caporalchef4]

@WamsWarrior Noooooo!! Really?? ;)

[WamsWarrior]

@caporalchef4 hey smartass i was talking to someone who was misinformed.. so go fuck yourself...

[caporalchef4]

@WamsWarrior LMAO!!

[CollonRollon]

no....

[RealDeal336]

look it up

tickets are already on sale

they takint he same patha s the original too

[tardisbill]

no it isnt there never will be, its like making another twin towers, apert from its a ship

[linkfan95]

that moron cant buy the britannic's wreck,its a lost ship that people need to let RIP...

[GThazard]

RIP?????? its a fricken piece of scrap metal. not a human being........

[AROBASPARK]

@linkfan95 Actually yes, you can buy a wreck. Under maritime law, the discoverer of a newly found wreck CAN claim it for himself. However, Cousteau decided not to claim Britannic, so the wreck was open for bid over for years but no one knew about it till Mr. Mills learned Britannic was been sold for $600 I heard in 1996-98. Ballard could had also claimed Titanic, but he didn't. Today now he regrets it because of the salvage operations of Titanic Inc., who claimed the Wreck as theirs in 1996-97.

[firemanlink]

even though they are both dead

[firemanlink]

too bad the titanic isn't in that good condition

[krissiefish2009]

it wasn't his fault there was this big block of ice and he didn't know what it was anybody could of hit it also that is really rude

[RealDeal336]

no but it was there fault goin that fast through icy waters

[ASlvr2]

if u think of it the titanic can still here today but the captain it was his fault

[OlympicClassDandy]

Captain Smith definitely wasn't to blame for the disaster. Read the actual history before you make terrible accusations like that.

[krehall]

Agreed. I spent 8 months reading through both official enquiries. And geting information from Harland And Wolfe and the Board Of Trade.

[animaldude55]

is olympic still there?

[AmentiProductions]

she was scrapped

[sherylace29]

,,oooh my god!!!!!!!!! i miss titannic

[beckyuk2001]

I would love to Dive Britannic! Imagine swimming up the Promenade Deck, Marvelous.

[Manolis090]

That will boost tourism

[bebegun23456789]

this is a amazing video from mikaela here are some more tips nothing to say u should build right next to the ship a under water hotel exsibit so people can learn more about the ship not that many people know about it and if u become a billionare im sueing u that was my idea thank u
