First artifacts recovered from Titanic’s sister ship wreck
For the first time, divers retrieved items from the wreck of HMHS Britannic, which sank off Greece in 1916, including a signal lamp, ceramic tiles, binoculars, and a lookout bell.
The recovered objects, now transferred to laboratories in Athens, will be permanently displayed in the under-construction Underwater Antiquities Museum in Piraeus.
