Titanic's Tragic Twin: The Britannic Disaster

Exploring the tragic fate of the Britannic, this documentary reveals how the sister ship of the Titanic met a similar end during World War I. Designed with enhancements after Titanic's 1912 disaster, Britannic was ultimately sunk in 1916 by an underwater mine explosion, going down in a mere 55 minutes—three times faster than her predecessor. Presenters Kate Humble and Andy Torbet commemorate the 100th anniversary by unraveling the events of that fateful day. While Andy dives into the wreck, Kate interviews descendants of survivors, including Violet Jessops, who narrowly escaped both maritime tragedies.
