While the wreck of the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e is 2 miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the \u003ci\u003eBritannic\u003c\/i\u003e is much more accessible (only 400ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e simply no longer exist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon Mills bought the wreck of the \u003ci\u003eBritannic\u003c\/i\u003e in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. \u003ci\u003eInside the Britannic\u003c\/i\u003e is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship; it is a fascinating survey supported by stunning, never-before-seen photos from inside the wreck, archival blueprints and original technical schematics of specific areas, and specially recreated digital images of how the ship would have looked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eBritannic\u003c\/i\u003e may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills’ fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57014244868470,"sku":"9781399414500","price":34.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_33912147.jpg?v=1767850117","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399414500-inside-the-britannic","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
