Could the wreck of Titanic's sister ship help save Greece's sinking economy?The wreck of Titanic’s sister ship could be transformed into an underwater attraction for scuba divers if a Greek tour operator gets his way. HMHS Britannic was one of three Olympic-class ships, along with the Titanic, which sank in 1912, and Olympic, which retired in 1934, built for the White Star Line by the same shipyard – Harland and Wolff. Since 1916 it has lain 400ft below the surface of the Kea Channel in the Aegean Sea after hitting a German mine, but plans have been mooted, 100 years on, to turn it into a mainstream scuba attraction.
