		The fact that Britannic was only carrying about a third of her usual quota of passengers kept the death rate very low indeed, and apart from thirty fatalities caused when the two lifeboats were crushed by the propellers, everybody else aboard the stricken liner managed to escape in a lifeboat.

	About the Britannic
		HMHS Britannic was lost on only her 6th voyage while serving as a hospital off the island of Kea, about 40 miles south east of Athens, Greece on the 21 November 1916.
		The Britannic lay in the Kea channel undisturbed for 60 years until Jacques Cousteau ran an expedition to locate her from the Calypso in 1975.
		However, it is thought that the nurses may have opened many of the lower deck portholes to air the wards prior to picking up her next load of wounded soldiers at Mudros, and effectively negating the safety aspects of the bulkheads.

	Britannic expeditions
		The mine responsible for the initial explosion which sank the Britannic is thought to be the standard C/12 type A mine, one of twelve laid by the German submarine U73 on the morning of 28th October 1916.
		Britannic never attained the angle of trim of Titanic’s near vertical position, while Britannic’s heavy list to starboard also differed somewhat from the slight list to port experienced on the Titanic.
		Since the Britannic has been resting on the seabed for over eighty-four years, it is quite remarkable that all of the deckhouses (with the exception of the captain’s bridge) are completely in situ, and shows no signs of collapsing even now, though isolated patches of deterioration (particularly the port side children’s playroom) are visible.
