How did the Britatnnic sink?
Well, No one knows for sure but ,on November 21st 1916. the H.M.S. Britannic was steaming near the cost of Greece, when ether a torpedo or mine hit the starboard side of the ship. since it was only 3 miles away for the coast, the captain thought he could beach her, but not knowing that the explosion was too great. so the captain orders the ship all a head full when she was sinking at a alarming rate. but when he noticed that she could not make it to shore he ordered that the ship to stop. but when the order was given, the electrical wiring that controlled the ship was already under the water, and caused the controls to short circuit. so when she sank, she was still going at full speed. then when the lifeboats were lowered, the propellers made a whirlpool effect that sucked and shredded 30 people and a lifeboat. those were the only casualties of the disaster. RMS Olympic was launched in 1910 and was part of the White Star Line fleet. The majority of her career was spent servicing the Liverpool-New York route, however in WWI she was used as a troopship. Olympic made her final voyage in November 1934 which was also the final transatlantic crossing made by a White Star Line vessel. In December 1935 she sailed from Liverpool for the shipbreakers yard where she was scrapped. But of course the one that the majority of people know is titanic. we all know how that ended.
