Shipwreck Blog: HMHS Britannic

Titanic's sister ship, she sank off Greece in WWII while being used as a hospital ship.

Apparently she struck a mine. Ironically she sank even faster than Titanic because her watertight doors were left open after the explosion; only 30 lives were lost, though, because of the location and better preparation (more lifeboats).
