      Shahzad Yousuf well obvious the titanic would look worse compared to the britanic. When the bow broke off a wave of water followed, then it crashed into the bottom no doubt breaking the keel of the ship even more, then the water that followed crashed onto the bow flattening decks destroying anything not nailed down. Now let’s look at the stern when it sank there was still air inside it which means it imploded then began to spin unlike the bow the stern wasn’t shaped like a bullet so with water pressure and the implosion and it’s landing caused a great deal of damage to the structure.
      It’s amazing that the wreck even survived the fall to begin with let alone 106 years. And the bacterial slowly eating her away. If there were any bodies left in her they most likely were eaten during the 30s or 40s.
      The britanic on the other hand compared to her sister survived minimal damage till the bow broke off.

      Britannic is not as far underwater as the Titanic! The Titanic is approximately 3.8km (2.37 miles) underwater, while on the otherhand the Britannic is about 122m underwater (400 feet). Also, there is a certain type of bacteria thriving on iron that is eating away at the Titanic, while with the Britannic, life is thriving around it and leaving it in pretty decent conditions!

      Even though BRITANNIC is at only 400 feet of water, there's a lot of paperwork to go thru, just to go to the wreck site. You need forms from the British Government, since it's their "gravesite". You need forms from the Greek Government, since it's in their water. You need forms from the wreck's (private) owner, to get his permission to dive on his wreck. Every one of these paper forms has to be filled out, signed and submitted. Even then, if you get one "no", then you can forget about the trip.
      Plus you have to need to take weather into account. If you have a permit for a 5 day exploration, but one day, the water is too choppy to dive or send an ROV over the side, you've lost a day.
      TITANIC is in international water, but it's not reachable by regular Submarine. The pressure at 12,460 feet means your windows need to be about an inch thick! The wreck site is currently owned by RMS TITANIC INC. and they say who can and who can't go.

      Sinking in shallow waters, in one piece and with no nasty rusticles eating her up is the reason. Britannic was still part afloat when her touched the sea bed. Titanic broke in two and the bow section sunk to a 4 kilometer depth and crashed on the sea floor at high speed. The stern section was filled with trapped air and when the water pressure became too high the whole stern section imploded and tore itself to pieces while tumbling down.
      Then we haven't even mentioned the insane pressure at such depths and the iron eating bacteria devouring the ship like leeches.

No amount of pleading would dissuade them. Fortunately, the expedition leaders stalled them off long enough to make copies of all the footage, and still had what they needed when they turned over the originals. I believe they were ordered off the site, too. And it was all over a misunderstanding to begin with (the Greeks believed the divers had removed one artifact from the wreck. They hadn't).

    The ship actually would have survived the mine. But about an hour before it struck, the amnesia ports where opened to vent out the anmesia gas, they were left open as she started to fill, and allowed water to flood into the main cabins. Had they been closed, she would have been able to steam on to a repair yard. Such a mighty beast taken down by the lack of attention.

    I've spent my entire life obsessed with the Titanic and the three Olympic class sisters and have always wanted to become a diver and acquire all the certifications/qualifications needed in order to dive this site and truly bask in the glory of Titanic's damn-near identical sister in person. There's quite a few reasons why she's in such better shape than Titanic and I'm very thankful that she's become an artificial corral "reef" in semi-shallow water and not a rapidly deteriorating/disappearing wreck covered in rust-eating bacteria like her sister sitting at the bottom of the north Atlantic, disappearing more and more as the years go by. I'll obviously never get the chance to swim along side the decks of the Titanic but it's entirely possible to do so with the Britannic, so maybe, just maybe, I'll have my chance at it someday; It's definitely not outside the realm of possibilities.

    The brave and beautiful Violet Jessop, who hired on as a stewardess on Titanic and survived in 1912, became a nursing sister for the war. By some ironic fate, she was assigned to HMHS Britannic, and lives were saved as a result of her experience and quick thinking. Great's the pity Britannic never achieved the glamour of the Southampton-NYC run; despite the brilliance of their design and build, the younger Olympic class sisters shared a malign destiny.

    Britannic, although an almost exact carbon copy of Titanic, has had a completely different life:
    - Sank much faster than her sister, but only took down 30 people (her sister took down 1500 people)
    - She sank in a very similar fashion to her sister, but hit the bottom before the stern actually went down (explains the huge damage at the bow)
    - Obviously, she is in one piece and in excellent condition (in contrast with her sister)
    - Can be reached just by yourself, no need of a submarine (although you could use one if you're really squeamish; her sister can only be reached by submarine, and we know how that went last time)
    - She has an amazing sea life surrounding her, practically becoming an artificial reef. Her sister is devoid of any life, except from the bacteria that are slowly eating her

    • @OBrasilo
      @OBrasilo 2 роки тому +2

      You have to take account the difference in the fact that the Titanic is 4 km down so the photos are tall taken by submersibles, while the Britannic is only 120 m down so the photos can be (and in this case, were) taken by divers. So there's much less maneuver to choose good angles. But I did recognize the promenade decks, for example.
      The Britannic also isn't upright so you mostly have photos of the ship's port side taken from above.

    Titanic, on the other hand, lies thousands of meters below the frigid Atlantic Ocean, shrouded in an eternal darkness in an inhospitable wasteland where the only life is the bacteria dissolving her bit by bit every day. Not to mention the violent end the Stern met after she broke apart.

    The painting of the Britannic on the bottom with it's port bow blown open from inside was based on Cousteau's belief that the ship was torpedoed by the Germans which blew up munitions Britannic wasn't supposed to be carrying and sank her. In reality the mine caused her to sink in water shallower than she is long, the bow hit the bottom with the stern still in the air; causing it to mostly separate. The explosion warped Britannic's frame, causing at least 6 of her watertight doors to jam in the open position. The Greek government is supposed to be allowing dives inside the wreck again; hope so, lots of secrets inside. GREAT video, thanks for sharing.
