HMHS Britannic (originally to be the RMS Britannic) (/ b r ɪ ˈ t æ n ɪ k /) was the third and final vessel of the White Star Line's Olympic class of steamships and the second White Star ship to bear the name Britannic.
Intended to be the third ship in the trio of express liners conceived by Lord Pirrie and Bruce Ismay, the Gigantic was laid down in November 1911, almost six months after the launch of the Titanic, the idea being to incorporate improvements in her based on service experience with her two sisters.
7 Οκτ 2009 · At the time there were reports in the media that she would be 1000 ft long, which proved to be wrong since the ship, the Gigantic/Britannic would be the same length as her sisters Olympic and Titanic. I decided to draw this imagined 1000-footer.
After Titanic sank, a rumor began to circulate that the White Star Line had indeed planned to name the third ship "Gigantic", but then changed the name after the Titanic sank to avoid the appearance of arrogance.
Over 200 rare black-and-white illustrations provide views of the ships at sea and in port, glimpses of lavish staterooms, lounges, dining areas, onboard photos of celebrities and royalty, and much more.
6 ημέρες πριν · The most gruesome fable surrounding stateroom B340 was a brutal triple murder in October 1967. As the story goes, during RMS Queen Mary’s final transatlantic voyage, a man butchered two women in their stateroom and, as a result, he was locked in his lodgings (there's debate between B222, B224 or B226) with a guard outside.
RMS Olympic (1910) and RMS Titanic (1911) had been built. The HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Britannic was the third “wonder ship” to be built. There is some debate whether she was originally planned to be named "Gigantic", but as it can be seen on the name plate on the main picture above it reads "Britannic".
