On the 21st November 1916, HMHS Britannic, sister ship to The Titanic, was sunk by a mine in the Aegean Sea.
Despite lying in only 400 feet of water, compared to the Titanic at 12,500 feet, her story has been forgotten.

My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: “Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!”
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.
