"This brief book is an attempt to fill part of this curious gap in the literature of great ships from the past. Setagainst a background of military conflict and political brinkmanship, the story of the Britannic's unfulfilled destiny is every bit as dramatic as the story of her more notorious sister ship [the Titanic]." - from the Introduction. "HMHS Britannic was the third and largest Olympic-class ocean linerof the White Star Line. It was the sister ship of RMS Olympic and RMS Tita nic, and was intended to enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner. However, it was launched on the eve on the First World War, and was quicklyput to use as a hospital ship. In that role it struck a mine off the south coast of Greece in 1916, and sank with the loss of 30 lives." - from wikip edia.org. Very good. 75.00
