Well,
No one knows for sure but ,on November 21st 1916. the H.M.S. Britannic was steaming near the cost of Greece, when ether a torpedo or mine hit the starboard side of the ship. since it was only 3 miles away for the coast, the captain thought he could beach her, but not knowing that the explosion was too great. so the captain orders the ship all a head full when she was sinking at a alarming rate. but when he noticed that she could not make it to shore he ordered that the ship to stop. but when the order was given, the electrical wiring that controlled the ship was already under the water, and caused the controls to short circuit. so when she sank, she was still going at full speed. then when the lifeboats were lowered, the propellers made a whirlpool effect that sucked and shredded 30 people and a lifeboat. those were the only casualties of the disaster.
RMS Olympic was launched in 1910 and was part of the White Star Line fleet. The majority of her career was spent servicing the Liverpool-New York route, however in WWI she was used as a troopship.
Olympic made her final voyage in November 1934 which was also the final transatlantic crossing made by a White Star Line vessel. In December 1935 she sailed from Liverpool for the shipbreakers yard where she was scrapped.
But of course the one that the majority of people know is titanic. we all know how that ended.
HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, was launched just before the start of the First World War and was quickly put to use as a hospital ship. In that role she struck a mine off the Greek island of Kea on the 21st November 1916, and sank with the loss of 30 lives.
The Britannic was sunk by an explosive mine in World War 1.
it was on a coast and a submarine shot Britannic with a torpedo in 1916, and Britannic head first then went to the side and sunk gracefully in the ocean
some people think its was torpedoed or there was a mine explosion
Another ship hit an underwater bomb into the ship's hullOn November 21st, 1916, the Britannic struck a German mine and sank in the Aegean Sea.
Britannic hit a German mine in the Mediterranean during World War 1 while serving as a hospital ship. Olympic did not sink but was scrapped, although there is a conspiracy theory that Olympic and Titanic switched identities. If true, Titanic was broken up for scrap, and Olympic hit an iceberg in the Atlantic.
yes, it did sink. It was WW2. People believe that the ship hit a mine. Some, though, think it got torpedoed by a submarine.
It was sunk by a mine during WWI.
hit a mine
Nobody knows
ships do not sink because gravity pushes it up
Titanic sank in 1912. An iceberg caused it to sink in the Atlantic Ocean carrying 2,200 souls on board.
Canoes do sink. Metal canoes will sink if they are turned sideways and loose their air pocket. Wood canoes normally do not sink if they are not waterlogged as the wood is buoyant. The same can be said for canoes made of other buoyant materials.
A Slip of the Lip - Can Sink a Ship - was created in 1943.
Collision, grounding, fire, structural failure, poor cargo loading.Ships could sink by something that could make a hole in the hull which lets the water in and then it will sink to the bottom of the sea.
