- Witness the tragic Final Plunge of the HMHS Britannic, the sister ship to the infamous RMS Titanic, 41 minutes after she struck the mine.
Animated in Unreal Engine 5, this brand new animation showcases our newest look at how we believe the Britannic's Final Plunge played out.
This animation is also a tie-in with our great friend 'Ocean Liner Designs' who has recently released a brand new feature length Britannic Documentary featuring both these and many more stunning visuals of the HMHS Britannic on her final fateful voyage.

While a good amount of people have heard of Britannic,one thing I wish would happen is that she gets a good movie,unlike the one from 2000
True
Maybe Cameron can rebuild the Britannic 😅
that will be good, but no fictional characters, the only "character" would be the ship itself and all the occupants shown and have dialogue during the sinking
Directed by James Cameron of course
@@chargoesboom6990 This often gets brought up against 'Titanic' (1997) but people fail to realize, it's what made the movie successful and to a degree "accurate". Sure, it's unimaginable for a 1st and 3rd class passenger to go through all the things that Rose and Jack did in the movie, but their characters gave Cameron the chance to film the many events that real passengers went through, from being lost in the maze-like corridors of the lower decks, to having to go down with the ship because the lifeboats were all gone. Fictional characters give the director a chance to combine multiple real life experiences and show those through the eyes of these characters. If done right, and the characters are well written, it works really well like it did in the 97 movie (imo). The 2000 movie (among other things) didnt work because that characters were badly written, and although they tried to show multiple views of the sinking, but they went a bit too far with the fictional parts. So imo, if Cameron were to make a Britannic movie, it definitely would go better than the 2000 movie did, even with fictional characters. But that's just my opinion, I accept if someone doesn't like the idea of fictional characters, I like the idea behind them tho (or the idea of how Cameron did them)
theres something so horrifying about this tragedy occurring during the day, and with the coast in sight. you can feel like youre secure and close to safety, but things like these can still happen in broad daylight. fantastic animation, rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives that day
Like the Lusitania? And countless others that met their demise by day?
Apparently, the crew and nurses were _constantly_ on edge, nervous for the moment they would be torpedoed or hit a mine. When it finally happened, everyone just went into motion to do the things procedure said they should. For the most part: Two lifeboat launches were done without any orders while the ship was still moving, and both lifeboats got pulled into the still-spinning propellers. By luck, Violet Jessup survived despite a concussion, while a Boy Scout clung to a nearby lifeboat falls line. Most of the listed casualties were aboard those two boats.
@@BNuts God if you haven't heard the story of the 1851 SS Artic, it's a horror story of the ocean liners.
Yes, I imagine it would've been far more traumatizing for the titanic survivors if it was in the daytime. I.E all the people in the lifeboats would see all the others in the water and see them dying.
During the night is just 100 times worse. Titanic disaster really is the stuff of nightmares.
My grandpa was a Captain himself. So naturally when I was younger, we talked a lot about ship but especially about the Titanic and her sisters. He died in 2019. On his certificate is written that he died at exactly 8:03 a.m on the 21st of November. German time. In Greece that's 9:03 a.m. So he died almost to the second 103 years after Britannic's death. Always wondered if it was just a coincidence, it almost couldn't have been a more symbolic time. Miss him very much.
I know what it’s like to lose a family member, stay strong.
I'm sorry for your loss
My Grandma died on the 104th anniversary of when Titanic struck the Iceberg
@@zacharykim6131 I wish her a rest in peace
TREVOR HARRIS TITANIC
9:49 just gave me chills. It shows the ship plunging rapidly taking down lifeboats and going so fast the funnels dont even have time to implode almost.
It's crazy to think about, but the only one of the Olympic class sisters that lived a full career is long gone and no longer exists, whereas the two that sank still exist and are each sitting on the sea floor.
This is truly a forgotten ship!!! Can we just thank @Titanic: Honor and Glory and the whole team because they made this possible! The sound effects, the visual effects and the details big and small had to be a lot of research and time! Thanks again and someday maybe people will remember the ship that was the largest of the Olympic class!
Oceanliner Designs contributed to this video and did a separate one on the Britannic alongside Titanic & Glory's new animation on their channel as well. Goes much deeper into the upbringing of Britannic & the characters of this tragedy.
😢😢😮😢
Even if her career was cut short due to circumstances beyond her control (WWI), I think Britannic had the most noble end to her career.
Rather than simply be scrapped like Olympic, when Britanic met her end, she was faithfully serving her country and acting as a shelter to protect life. And her sacrifice was not in vain. Her mission was accomplished and her country's victory was attained.
She paid the ultimate price like a great many soldiers did in that war, but even in death she continues to serve life to this very day. Today Britanic acts as a shelter for the life that lives beneath the waves. She offers shelter for many fish and other sealife so that they may grow big and one day give life to us.
Britannic did her duty. And now she has earned the right to rest.
Rest easy Britannic. You did your duty and you did your country proud.
Well Olympic actually sunk a German submarine. It's one of the extremely few circumstances in which a civilian ship has sunk a vessel of war. Sort of like a zebra killing a lion. The captain of the Olympic spotted the sub and gave orders to ram it. The captain of the sub saw Olympic approaching at great speed and gave orders for an emergency dive. The sub just barely avoided the keel of the Olympic but the propellers then sliced the hull of the sub open.
Olympic did her duty in WWI too and transported tons of troops to their destination. She was targeted by German subs but none ever managed to sink her. Though there may have been a great deal of luck which contributed. While in dry dock during the war the hull was checked and a rather large dent was found. The angle indicated something hit her from the *side* . Most likely a torpedo. So this meant that a torpedo actually had hit the Olympic but had failed to detonate and therefore just left the dent. This wasn't uncommon during WWI and bad detonators (Germany suffered from a shortage of strategic metals and had to use whatever replacement they could find) made some torpedoes duds. This was also the case with the early torpedoes used by the US Navy during WWII in which they slammed into Japanese ships without going off. Some people had noticed this even before the war began but this issue was never remedied until they proved themselves highly unreliable during the war.
Pretty much all ships are scrapped in the end - no matter how highly successful and beloved they were. Aquitania served in *both* WWI and WWII. The years and wars took a heavy toll on her.
"She offers shelter for many fish and other sealife so that they may grow big and one day give life to us." Well, with the ever worsening condition of coral reefs due to bad pollution of the oceans this is going to be a small victory.
"Her mission was accomplished and her country's victory was attained." Let's not exaggerate here. Over 6000 ships were sunk by the German and Austro-Hungarian navies. Those several thousands more that managed to stay afloat granted the Entente its overall victory. Both the British and French had huge empires they could rely upon for vast quantities of goods for the war effort, but without ships they'd go nowhere. India's effort (then part of the empire) was huge: By the end of the war in 1918, more than a million Indian personnel had been sent overseas. As well as on the Western front, Indian divisions were sent to Egypt, Gallipoli and Mesopotamia. India also provided over 170,000 animals and 3,700,000 tons of supplies and stores, as well as ships from The Royal Indian Marine. Also jute for sandbags, and a large loan (the equivalent of about £2 billion today). 3,7 million tons of supplies to the Western Front and other British theaters of the war needed to be shipped.
Britannic was a hospital ship and took care of the wounded of the *disastrous* Gallipolli campaign (Churchill's idea).
Well said. Actually brought tears to my eyes reading that.
@@McLarenMercedesman no it did not dude
@@GODZILLA_vr-w6j yes it did lil bro learn your history
@@bob_kermancorny
How horrible for White star line to envision these three ships and only one survives. Wow the money lost, lost of life and all the workers who built them. Thanks for the animation. All your hard work is greatly appreciated. HAPPY THANKSGIVIING.😢😮
Funny how you put money lost before everything..says a lot😅
@@starstatusvillarreal3747The money represents a lot of people’s hard work and innovation
White Star Line deserves no better. Bunch of greedy, anti-social, dirtbags who disrespected their employees and their families.
It's a waste alright. But the waste of human live is worse. @@JohnMaxGriffin
@@Firemarioflower Sure. It’s all part of the story.
The sound of the ship groaning and creaking contrasted against the machinery of the engine room...just horrifying to imagine how it would have been to be working and trying to keep everything going right up to the last moment.
4:56 Something about the whistles going off is just chilling. This is Britannic having to accept her fate, no pleas for help will save her in time and she knows it.
The 5 blasts of her whistle as the captain order abandon ship sent chills down my spine and also sadness.
Brittanic was a victim of very unfortunate circumstances all around from the beginning. The mine blast couldn't have hit at a worse spot than where it did. Knocked out the wireless antenna and steering. Certain water tight doors knocked and all of those open portholes to boot. The worst part is the miscommunication with propellers still turning and the 30 lives horrifically lost. Poor girl was doomed once the explosion happened. Great job and video. Remember the 30 that perished and always remember the incredible experience of Violet Jessop on all 3 of the sister ships 1st with the Olympic and the Hawk then Titanic and finally Brittanic. And she still continued to nurse and sail on more ships afterwards. Incredible woman. Bully for her 👏👏👏
Would those portholes even stand up to the pressure?
Not to mention, she struck the mine during shift change, an event that only occurred twice/day for fifteen minutes. The result is that none of the water-tight doors were shut, allowing catastrophic flooding.
I wonder if Violet Jessup thought she herself might be cursed.
Don't bully thats meean D:
@@qwertykeyboard5901well, Titanic’s wreck still has plenty of portholes that haven’t shattered and she lies at around 4,000 meters below the surface. I think Britannic’s portholes would have done just fine
This genuinely made me cry - because I KNOW what happened to those in the 2 lifeboats that left before the captain gave orders!
I wish I had've met Violet Jessop!
She was on ALL 3 Olympic class Liners! She was on both OLYMPIC during the collision with the HMS HAWKE, and she was onboard the TITANIC as a stewardess. Then she was onboard the BRITANNIC as a nurse's aid.
Opportunity missed! 😢 Those stories she would've been able to tell! ❤
And she couldn't swim, which is even more ironic
I think at that point she should have been given a pension and allowed to retire from being a nurse overall. To have survived Olympic’s collision is minor; to have also survived Titanic is amazing…but adding Britannic to the mix? Nah…let her live her life in peace at that point.
I can only imagine how the engineers in the engine room felt as the ship creaked and groaned around them.

Hmhs Britannic 😊
My eyes widen between 09:12 - 09:35. You can build a mighty vessel, but nothing more mightier than the sea. Great work bring this too life. Britannic was the final evolution of the Olympic class vessels, just a shame we didn't see her in her cross Atlantic passenger version.
😢❤❤❤❤
Absolutely nothing.
And this was in CALM waters too
I hope we can get a full version, this is some insanely good animation quality.
Same
Same
The sounds are asolutely terrifying and haunting. Fantastic job on the sound design! 👏
Its like she's crying
8:31 It looks very good made
4:58 The final blasts of the ship's whistle signal the end, like a death rattle, the haunting sound would have struck terror in the remaining crew.
Britannic deserves more love
Yes and please go to youtube channel History Inside a Nutshell there is a Britannic petition please Sign the petition ❤
these ships genuinely terrify me. Seeing a large structure like that sticking out of the water at strange angles. The propellers always freak me out too.
Violet Jessup no doubt felt a sense of deja vu seeing the near twin ship sink in front of her, only in daytime and near quiet environment
she was also boarded on RMS Olympic when Olympic had the HMS Hawke Incident too.
@GirlyTomboyX yes but olympic didn't sink😂
@@legomaster06_98not the point.
The way the ships just plunge to the bottom once the buoyancy gives out is terrifying. This situation isnt ANYWHERE near as terrifying as titanic and it's STILL so unnerving.
Her whistle was her battle cry for help and it grips my heart to see the last of the Olympic class go down all I wish is that a movie is made about her
There is one, but it is extremely inaccurate.
Wow! I forgot today was November 21, the day in 1916 when Britannic sank. Haven't seen the video yet, but I know it will be good!
I've been studying the 1910s for 4 months straight now and I fully understand the world and the people and can imagine myself in the time seeing it as we see modern today. So safe to say this is amplified horror for 1916.
Exquisite work as always! I especially liked the shot of the bow underwater with the fish swimming around it.
I’m hoping someone could offer some insight because I’ve always wondered this. The mine caused the forward six compartments to flood, but that was within Britannic’s flood limit. So really, was the only deciding factor in her sinking any open port holes that would’ve allowed water to bypass bulkhead F (which went to B deck)? If I’m not mistaken, the wards were on E deck, and the nurses had opened those port holes earlier in the morning for ventilation, so that would’ve caused her to sink since water would ingress past the initially damaged compartments.
Basically, yes. Had Britannics portholes been closed, she probably would have survived
That, along with speed forcing water into the hull.
Also what didn't help was the water tight doors were left open. Some jammed and some simply were just left open (I think) for anyone left down there to have a chance to escape.
@@michaelmcguffin4342 No one had to use the watertight doors to escape. Each of the watertight compartments had vertical access to use as escape routes. For the boiler rooms, it was straight up the fiddleys to the base of the funnels.
I remember with respect and love the 35 souls who disappeared with the ship HMHS BRITANNIC 107 years ago, sleep well HMHS BRITANNCI
Absolutely amazing job.Well done you guys👍
That was absolutely outstanding. Great job. It looked like a movie and the background noise was great. Good practice for the Titanic game. Keep it up....
Can you also make a real time sinking of the HMHS Britannic 2023 animation like the Titanic! That was some nice animations here and there. Thank You!
Nothing can humble mankind more than to watch their greatest and largest creations being swallowed up in the sea like a monster eating it's prey.
Idk why but the emergency whiste was so calming idk
Should be implemented to Britannic:POTM but probably won't happen any time soon cuz they are 100% focused on getting Titanic done but who knows.
100% agere
That's not till next year I'm pretty sure they take breaks From making these amazing animated videos
I cant wait!
Yeah you can
So if I understood correctly from the Oceanliner Designs video about Britannic's sinking, the open port holes for ventilating the ship were the final push that doomed the Britannic? That's kinda sad to think about..
Basically yes
This channel is important for history
This animation looks beautiful Titanic Honor and Glory well done.👍
The greatest hospital ship ever ❤
The greatest don't sink
I mean, she had 6 voyages so I wouldn't say she did a notable service as a hospital ship
@@scurly0792 she sunk on her 6th voyage though, but at least she has 5 successful voyages
what a beautiful ship. and what a coincidence, I am currently reading a book of one crewmember of U73..
Planning to buy this in near future on Steam and now we are waiting for same Titanic game :)
Those 5 whistle blasts gave me chills. 👀😰
Hmhs Britannic
This was extremely well done you guys!
Great animation! It would be nice to also have a video being a single wide shot of the entire thing, like in the 2016 animation! That would be the cherry on top of all of this
It was scary
Britannic became largest ship sunk in world war 1, largest Ocean liner on the sea floor and largest ship sunk ever by a naval mine 🏥🚢
The Aquitania was actually going to Greece but the Aquitania was damaged by the storm soo Britannic replace the Aquitania and sadly sank
This is incredible! I noticed two important changes from the original sinking animation. Firstly, the abandon ship signal was changed from two long whistle blasts to five shorter blasts. Secondly, there was no sound above the surface of the water to indicate when the ship hit the bottom. I’m really curious as to why you made these changes, especially the whistle signal.
Titanic engine
Huge props to whomever did the most polished sound design of one of these yet. Really elevates things. Awesome work everyone. It's amazing to see the artistry and technology improve with each attempt.
This was a very tragic sinking but the animation blew me away, scary but the animation I couldn’t help but be amazed great job you earned a new subscriber
I would whole heartedly watch a remaster of the real time documentarys. There really good.
It was scary 😮😟
Scary..? How
Very well done, and an improvement over the older videos of this.
Aw man, I actually liked Britannic. It's sad that Britannic has a tragic fate just like her other two sisters, Olympic and Titanic. Rest in peace to these three fateful sisters 😔❤
I wouldn't say Olympic had a tragic end given that she, unlike her sisters, actually a long and successful career
Very real reconstruction of the shipwreck of the Titanic's twin brother.
Sister*
I found this video about the sinking of the HMHS Britannic very good
Each time the graphics get better and better, there are some very talented people designing and programing all of that, and they surely have out done themselves this time. The biggest improvements since the last Britannic sinking video would probably be the water and its dynamics, but surely there is other improvements on just about everything. I can't wait to see the final product for the Titanic. Keep up the great work.
Amazing video!!!! So detailed and almost seems 100% real...
This is incredible....
This is incredible
I wish they realese a full Britannic real time siking remaster
Sheila Macbeth Mitchell is a Britannic survivor she did submarine to the Britannic Wreck in 1976
Plz release patroness of the Mediterranean on console
5:10 there is just something so sad about hearing those whistles blowing that makes it feel even more tragic
AMC needs to make a miniseries titled “White Star Sisters”
Very interesting video. Thanks for posting this.
Beautiful visual work on this! Bravo. And the sound effects work was terrific, as well!
Attention to detail is incredible, eg the rivets on the davits.
The sounds...
...oh my God the sounds...
Well done indeed! 👍
Watching this As A Engineer what is going to happen when that cold water reaches those Boilers? BOOM!
"Don't worry" said the ocean "I'll look after her, I'll look after her..."
Who is better 4:57
Old britannic real time whistle
New britannic real time whistle
I always assumed the central propeller turned clockwise for the ship to move forward(?). I guess there’s something new to learn each day!
"Wow!....beautifully made, & very informative....really hits home, what happened"🕯️🥀
Are we getting a Britannic launch animation?
and to think that today marks 107 years since the ship was created until its sinking
I liked all the effort that the white star line put into clearing his name and in fact
despite the fact that the britannic is the less recognized ship compared to her two sisters
unlike the sinking of its sister the Titanic to its sinking, it was less serious despite the pitiful loss of 30 people,
were
-due to the more tolerable temperature,
-more lifeboats
-and that there were more ships to the rescue.
Even compared to the remains of the Titanic, the Britannic sank in its entirety and if you want to visit it, it is safer at its shallowest depth and you only need to be a professional diver.
Only the Olympic, the third sister ship, survived her full 25-year service to end up being scrapped. Three mighty ships were mighty dreams and visions of mighty industrialists who didn't understand words like "no" and "cant" and "too big" or "death" they just pushed on with their dreams.
I really hope we get a new Britannic movie soon! This one is so ultradetailed! Also, I thought this was the real time sinking that lasted an hour (since Britannic sank in 55 minutes)… this is just the final plunge. When’s the hour long real time?
Britannic, for all its advancements in safety, was undone by open portholes. If not for those open portholes the ship would not have sunk.
There’s only one thing wrong with this. The sign in the front is supposed to be red but otherwise pretty good.
The reason is according to Admiralty Specifications, the G.618 Plate was Black, not red.
This needs to be implemented into Patroness of the Mediterranean
Just about professional level animation and sound design, without the multi-million dollar budget. Well done. The water effect is hard to render accurately, especially the edges of receding or advancing water I note.
I think the fourth funnel is the funnel we see in the wreck photo
I would love to see a replica of one of Britannic’s motor launches. Like the lifeboats built for the Cameron movie.
I loved the new version of the last moments of her. I can't wait to see what you all gonna do with a new real time of Titanic next year ❤
At 5:18 -- in a previous animation didn't you say that Charles Bartlett ordered two long blasts of the whistle?
Far better than the movie
Nicely done!
That whistle is erie.
If ships had feelings, the Olympic is so mad right now.
It looks so real
One of my favorite ships ever built, even moreso than Titanic.
So tantalizingly close to the shallows
Huh. Im really a geek regarding ocean liners and the Olympic class vessels in general, but I had no idea the steering gear got knocked out too.
I knew the cables for the marconia devices snapped, so they could not hear responses though.
Just a bit of a shame the internal curtains were hanging perpendicular to the deck rather than vertically as they would have been. Apart from that superb, and a fantastic level of attention to detail, such as fabricated outboard propellers but solid centre one and the aft funnel not having soot on it.
It is very shocking to see. The helplessness that comes from not being able to avoid tragedy.
Wow that is pretty good~
Will you be able to view external shots of the ship? can you have a free view mode?
I couldn't never be a captain especially seeing a ship that big go down.
