Britannic always will have a place i my heart no matter what anyone says about her or whatever happens to her in the future,she and Olympic have always been my number 1 favorite,with Britannic being close behind Olympic in my list
@@SkibidiAnimator. HMHS Britannic was already Britannic 2. SS Britannic (1874) was White Star Line's first ship to bear the name and the MV Britannic (1929) was White Star's third and final ship to be called like that.
Honestly, when I heard Britannic's story, I almost cries. It's just sad, that this ship had never seen the glory of an ocean passenger liner. And after her third voyage, she could have been a magnificent ocean liner, and heck, she could have a good life, and even preserved, likely not but we will never know...
Now thinking of it, if Captain Bartlett didnt try to beach the ship, and stopped the engines immediately after the mine strike, I think the death count could have been as low as one. Since there were reports of one person being killed by the mine explosion itself. Considering that he must have known that all of the lower deck portholes must have been open as if the nurses all had opened it and the britannic was on its 6th voyage, the Bartlett must have already been used to the nurses doing that before picking up wounded.
When you think about it, the Britannic disaster could have been WAY worse had they been returning from picking up wounded soldiers rather than going to pick up wounded soldiers.
I wish we could see what britannic would look like as a ocean liner i mean its sad she never got to have her passenger voyage, i also like those davit cranes she had!.
Andrew’s always gets sole credit for the Olympic classes design, but Alexander Carlisle actually had just as much a hand in their design as Andrews did and is largely forgotten as he quit his job at Harland and Wolff in the middle of Titanic’s construction.
It’s so infuriating that the magnificent Britannic was lost because the stupid nurses opened portholes against orders of Captain Bartlett. 😡 Such a waste to lose the Britannic😔
Britannic could have been the ultimate white star liner. Sometimes I imagine a perfect scenario where all of the Olympic class ships were designed like the finalized britannic was supposed to be, and none of them sank. The only downside to that is no Café Parisian! Think about it for a second, let’s say all made their maiden voyage somewhere in 1910, honestly the white star and Cunard merger would definitely be in White Star’s favor
One ship at the time had already been sunk by a mine that U-73 had laid out of 12. But the ship was labeled as sunk by a torpedo so minesweepers weren’t sent to sweep the kea channel. If they sent the minesweepers, Britannic might just have been saved.
@@theshipenthusiast did not know that now i do the more you know. I am also a ship enthusiast (no pun intended) i love the Britannic for the beautiful ship she was and what could of been if she didn't sink
If I was extremely wealthy rich. I would have a modern day clone copy of RMS BRITANNIC II built in harland and wolff ship yard. RMS BRITANNIC would serve as my floating home. My ship would also have live on board guest around 260 to 575 people. And have a crew of 655. Most of the crew members will be ex navy people with the best training in the world. I would give RMS BRITANNIC II the life the original never had. BRITANNIC II would be the best looking ship in the world.
Look out for any mines haha! All jokes aside, if I was also extremely rich, I would recreate the entire Olympic class ships, plus a fourth concept ship, but none of my ships would never sail alone, no matter where they go, my ships will always travel in a convoy
White star line be like:that's a waste of money. We worked for nothing. Now we have olympic and let's hope she survived the war. But we need to build a new type of ship if there's no war reparations
As much as your video on the ship is accurate I should point out. It was not tensions from Great Britain and Germany that caused World War I to occur. It was tensions between Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Serbia, that started the war, in addition, tensions between France and Germany. Britain joined in because Germany invaded Belgium and Luxenberg when trying to enter France.
@@theshipenthusiast one more question; even if titanic didn't sink, would she have become a troopship like Olympic or a hospital ship like Britannic? What are your thoughts?
@@TheRedPanda. it’s hard to tell. Most likely she would have stayed a hospital ship but with Titanic in the scene, who knows. What ifs have a lot of possibilities and any possibility could have happened.
Yup and an even crazier fact is that the voyage that Britannic was taking on when she sank, was actually meant for Aquitania but because she needed to be converted back she was too busy to take on this voyage so it went to Britannic.
The Britannic was originally gonna be called gigantic b because the company that made the archers have have the name as gigantic in books I think white Star Line changes your name because of the big German ocean liners And this was before Titanic sank Because they were bigger But the arch company still had the name gigantic in their books
The name gigantic could have been suggested by a Harland and Wolff official but was never made official. There is no mention of the name being used as the 3rd ship in the Olympic class though and I’m not sure how it became such a widely believed misconception. The only time it was used was when describing describing her characteristics so that might be where it is from.
I really think it was going to be named gigantic the only reason why they changed the name is because of the German superliners were bigger like I said but the company that made the Ship's anchors back in 1911 sent a document to either white Star Line or some other company they were complaining that they weren't paid good enough for the for the Anchors and for the next Anchor which was called gigantic and wanted to be paid better I have the company document It's a copy but it's from the record I think calling the ship Britannic had nothing to do with the Titanic disaster and had to do with the German liners were bigger but I still think they were in the call at gigantic if the German liner's haven't been made And what about that ship advertising poster with the name gigantic on it is it real or is it a fake I have it one of my Titanic books I think it's called Titanic and illustrated history The company that made the anchors For the Olympic Titanic and Britannic The name gigantic is in their company records The name is crossed-out Ledge books And like I said I have that letter That's why I think It was gonna be called gigantic There's too much documentation
@@britannicman9995 all posters of her saying gigantic are fake since it was never made official if it was suggested. The earliest listing of the 3 ships call the ship Britannic and “Tom McCluskey” who worked in Harland and Wolff managing offices said how he never saw any reference to the name. You can have your opinion on it but for me, the facts say “it wasn’t a real thing”. Plus, white star and Harland and Wolff were not so unprofessional to name their ship after it’s size. I just can’t see a company like white star coming up with that as an official name. As for the anchor thing, like I said in the video, the name “Gigantic” was used when describing the characteristics of the ship so I don’t find it too far fetched to say that that was what they were describing, as the anchor was gigantic. I can also see people referring to Britannic as gigantic since, she was huge.
I think the name gigantic was a strong possibility I think Harland wolf Had that named somewhere in their company records But I think after Titanic disaster they probably didn't want to have that in any other records anywhere so they probably got rid of it It would look bad on the company Hey they didn't even mention Titanic and any Building plans for the Britannic as 401 instead of having the word Titanic inquotations they had the yard number cause they didn't even want to mention the word Titanic
@@britannicman9995 in a picture of Britannic’s construction from the earliest stages, the name Britannic is shown. She is also listed as Britannic in 1908 papers. (AKA, before white star was sure they wanted to build her)
Older ships are just something else just so beautiful and so much more life in them
The fact that it took longer to build them than today is also a reason we get more attached I think.
Maybe it’s because will never be able set sail on one
Britannic always will have a place i my heart no matter what anyone says about her or whatever happens to her in the future,she and Olympic have always been my number 1 favorite,with Britannic being close behind Olympic in my list
Britannic’s future will be a bright one and she will wake up after her hibernation when she hid during war
What if...
Britannic 2
nvm

I used to love Titanic until i stumbled on Britannic. Nowadays Britannic became my favorite liner.
I’m sure your excited to either travel on britannic or at least visit it when I bring it back into service
@@ciala51 what
Honestly, when I heard Britannic's story, I almost cries. It's just sad, that this ship had never seen the glory of an ocean passenger liner.

preserved LOLOL
Well. Today she definitely is preserved for a few decades to go.
I love britannic not because of her story but how she was meant to be. We have a beautiful hospital ship, and an icon of transatlantic travel.
2:14 imagine if that was the design they went with. Looks like a cross between the big 4 and Teutonic class.
Now thinking of it, if Captain Bartlett didnt try to beach the ship, and stopped the engines immediately after the mine strike, I think the death count could have been as low as one.

The end had me crying, pictures of a ship that I loved learning about sunk, and the old minecraft music
When you think about it, the Britannic disaster could have been WAY worse had they been returning from picking up wounded soldiers rather than going to pick up wounded soldiers.
So glad I found your channel, your videos are great and done very well.
Are you ever going to cover the other two Britannics? I’m talking about the SS Britannic from 1874, and the MV Britannic from 1930.
I wish we could see what britannic would look like as a ocean liner i mean its sad she never got to have her passenger voyage, i also like those davit cranes she had!.
I found out some interesting information about the Britannic 1st class lounge They are the doors of an insurance company in England
Damn nurses portholes should’ve been closed they were advised not to open them
Cant believe Britannic had so much potential but all that potential was wasted because of war
The Music in the beginning it’s nostalgic
E Me and The Guy who made the vid are getting to become friends.
Awesome video thank you RMS Britannic of 1914 is my favorite ship
A surprise sure, but a welcome one. #teambritannic
Yay, another Britannic video!
She's my 2nd fav ship :P
The last music was from Minecraft

Beautiful intro 😢❤🎉
It’s so infuriating that the magnificent Britannic was lost because the stupid nurses opened portholes against orders of Captain Bartlett. 😡 Such a waste to lose the Britannic😔
It was lost because of a stupid war. Just because an Austro-Hungarian prince was assassinated by Serbians.
Out of all 3 ships, I find Britannic the Most fascinating.
loved the minecraft music...

If you had a time machine and had orders to save Britannic from her fate. How would you go about saving her not changing any major ww1 events?

@@theshipenthusiast honestly I would’ve tampered with every mine that was in the area where britannic sank so they would fail to detonate
I would have turned the helm immediately to a change to port side turn to avoid the mine.
@@koltp1909 they never spotted the mine
Britannic, titanic, Olympic, will have a place in my heart all olympic class ships are my favorite, titanic had the 2 best sinking, 1 Britannic

Fortunately i had my own Britannic in modern day RP, named Lian
Why does the first song sound so familiar? Is it just me or is this a song that just generally evokes weird nostalgia for no reason?
It’s from Minecraft
@@theshipenthusiast OH! Thank you!
Because of war, a great ship, one potential ocean liner was lost.
We should decide har gates after titanic & Olympic R I P
Goddang British Admiralty
White star line be like:that's a waste of money. We worked for nothing. Now we have olympic and let's hope she survived the war. But we need to build a new type of ship if there's no war reparations
Personally, I would love to do a film on the history of the Britannic. Hopefully I could do one MUCH better than the knockoff from 2000

17:47 is this real picture
