sunkenabandonment:

The Britannic.

The sister ship to the Titanic (which I will, someday, post a photo set of). It was a cruise ship, which they converted into a hospital ship during the 1st World War. Sunk in 1916 due to an explosion while on it’s way to pick up injured soldiers.

Only 30 people died during the sinking, which no one really knows the actual cause of the explosion. Some say torpedo, some say underwater mine. One grusome thing that happened, was unbeknownst to the Captain, 2 lifeboats launched and before he could turn the engines off they were both sucked into the ships propellers. Whoa.
