So fascinating did the mystery of the Britannic shipwreck proved to Jacques Cousteau, he scoured the depths of the Kea coast in the hopes of finding it. Sister ship of the Titanic, the Britannic ocean liner was christened during World War I by the British Navy. At the War’s height, the Britannic was converted into a hospital ship. It sunk in 1916 after hitting a German mine somewhere off the coast of Attica.
Decades later, the Greek Department of Underwater Antiquities, helmed by architect-engineer Katerina Tagonidou, has employed special technology in order to further analyze the Britannic wreck and attain underwater footage of the ship’s remains.
