Raise your hand if this is the millionth time you've watched a Britannic, Titanic, or any other ship video that has feature in one way or another the song Sleeping Sun. ✋🏻
I feel like you guys are helping BRITANNIC get the recognition, that she deserves! I love the history of the Olympic class ships. Thank you all for your tireless efforts in bringing them back to life. ⚓ ⚓ ⚓
"6 miles of ground have been won half a million men are gone" That's a Sabaton reference, Tom just made a Sabaton reference... I guess we have a secret metal fan here.
Fairly sure Sabaton is referring to like a poem or a soldiers quote... They like to do that. Sort of like how seven pillars of wisdom refers to Laurence’s book
It's the song that got me into Nightwish (through a Britannic video no less), so no matter how cliche it becomes it'll always hold a special place in my heart and music library.
The sinking of Britannic is a piece of history that a lot of people seem to forget about, or never even heard of. I like to think of this ship as a fallen solider who died while serving in the deadliest war known to man. Doing everything in her power to protect her country. R.I.P. those who died in the sinking and thank you for your service.
StormOfStorms Absolutely right. For all the commemoration and remembrance of WWI, Britannic’s - and even Olympic’s - story remains mostly forgotten. Glad that THG are doing their part to fix that.
God, that Sleeping Sun used in the beginning was really popular with in very single video featuring the Titanic, Britannic, Lusitania etc. And it’s surprising that it still being used to this day with some videos using this song.
Well, it would have settled something if it had actually been enforced properly. And it didn't set the world nicely for a rematch, that was the Great Depression.
@@namewarvergeben No, but if there is one, single thing that could be said to be the largest reason behind Hitler's rise to power, it was the Great Depression. Without it, the NSDAP would be deprived of much of their popular rhetoric and never achieve the plurality in the Reichstag they did in real life. Note that in the November 1932 election, after the worst of the worldwide Depression was over, the party actually lost a substantial number of seats.
Ah, the Olympic Class. About the most beautiful ships ever built. And Nightwish, about the best band ever to hit a stage, especially in the current line-up. Mixing the two together, you get... not necessarily something good :D
The sleeping sun joke was hilarious! I almost died laughing! Lol. I am excited to see the animation become available on steam, and this makes me even more excited to see their take on the Lusitania sinking! One suggestion I might make for a sinking in a future video would be the sinking of either the Empress of Ireland, the Sinking of the Republic, or the sinking of the Andrea Doria. I know the Doria isn’t connected to the White Star Line, but it is a shipping disaster. The same could be said with the EoI as well. Another suggestion is after Titanic: Honor and Glory releases, you guys should totally release the completed sinking animation from a similar or the same view as you’re original animation. That is, ONLY when the game has been released, and perhaps, (depending on when T:H&G releases,) make it on the next anniversary of the ship after the game is released. I think it’d be fitting for that to happen!
Shame none of the Olympic class ships where around today in any condition (not under the ocean). All Olympic Class ships should be remembered on their own.
@Reunite The British Empire It must be kept in mind that the great depression was going on and converting a ship from service to a museum is outrageously expensive. Not including the maintenance cost needed to happen to keep it safe for anyone that would visit the ship in the long run.
Well, the Titanic is the most well known ship second only to possibly the mayflower here in the US. The Olympic and Britannic are, themselves, famous for their relation to Titanic.
Let me explain to you why this would not happen. The last surviving four funnel liner was R.M.S. Aquitania. She lasted through both world wars and was litteraly falling apart after WWII. Now imagine how the Olympic would look now.
So Violet Jessop sails on a ship -*the ship sinks* So then Violet decides to sail on another ship -*the other ship sinks* -Violet then decides to get on a lifeboat: "Nothing can go wrong *now* " *ThE lIFeBoAt GeTs AbSoLuTlEy PuLvErIzEd* Just imagine her on a plane
I didn't mind hearing Sleeping Sun at the start as the song still means a lot to me outside of Ocean Liners such as Britannic. Though I did find it out of character for you guys to start off the video like that, it was still a good laugh though. While it's overused, it still has charm to me.
How that Sleeping Sun song has remained popular on Britannic videos for years right? xD I'm wondering why I thought it was going to happen again. xD That's really a good one Titanic: Honor And Glory! x''D
Thats right ladies and gentlemen! Its now time for more great quotes by the one and only, Tom Lynskey! "Hold my beer, we're gonna ram this thing!" "Olympic eats Hawkes for breakfast." "Heck and darned!" "Well.. largest that is aside from the old Great Eastern." "Hello everybody. I'm still Tom Lynksey." "But it's *Full* Brain Time now." "I have some bad news for you. This might be the last update of the year where I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Its just gettin' colder out." "And the engines will soon be going into the engine." "Just kidding. I'm not going to subject you to the unofficial Britannic theme song for this." Keep making more, Tom!
I thought the Aquitania was bigger, also, I can tell that footage of the ship with the enclosed promenade really is from the Britannic since the only existing video of the Titanic, shows the promenade before the modifications were made...
Even though the 2000 tv movie Britannic was not the worst simulation on the sinking of Britannic. There are still many inaccuracies with the film. For example, the ship was sunk after a German spy bombed the vessel when in reality it struck a mine. Also the Gantry davits are painted yellow instead of brown, and the worst offenders being the way the ship sank, and the fact that the ship carried passengers...
You should of mentioned her new HUGE gantry lifeboat davits, they did the job and then some. They not only permitted boats to be stored beneath them as usual but inward on deck in piles where they could swing inward, hoist, and then swing outward and lower them away. They were so large that they remained effective even with a substantial amount of listing to either side of the vessel. And they even had lights on top of them for use at night. They're precisely why all of those souls made it off safe and sound.
I'm pretty sure they also could've reached clear to lifeboats on the other side of the ship if the list was too great to one side to launch from, except where they were alongside the funnels
Even if her career was cut short due to circumstances beyond her control (WWI), I think Britannic had the most noble end to her career. Rather than simply be scrapped like Olympic, when Britanic met her end, she was faithfully serving her country and acting as a shelter to protect life. And her sacrifice was not in vain. Her mission was accomplished and her country's victory was attained. She paid the ultimate price like a great many soldiers did in that war, but even in death she continues to serve life right up to this very day. Today Britanic acts as a shelter for the life that lives beneath the waves. She offers shelter for many fish and other sealife so that they may grow big and one day give life to us. Britannic did her duty. And now she has the right to rest easy beneath the waves.
Thanks again to Thomas and all of the crew at Titanic H&G for this awesome story of Titanic's lost sister. Even though I am an avid Titanic historian, I always click as soon as I see a new H&G video. I'm so excited for the game!!!
I'm excited to see Lusitania's sinking animation in this same quality, it also would be a great idea if you used Gio's interior models of Britannic to show how she would look like as a ocean liner
As usual a wonderfull Narration Tom and a big thank you to the whole THG Team you are doing a wonderfull Job at bringing these majastic Ships back to live. And I agree that it must have been a sight to see those 5 Liners in one Formation what would I give to see a picture of them Steaming together.
> Open the video with for some reason a low volume > Realizing that "God, wait, is that song" > Stop the video > Check the channel to see if im still in Honor and Glory > Replay the video > 0:08
I think the story is great allegory of the young men men who went to war. Born in peace time with a bright future ahead, but called to service. Serving alongside friends and rivals for a great ideal, a part of something truly monumental and previously unthinkable. One day suddenly and without warning, her light sniffed out, life snatched away, a death without compassion or malice, another casualty, not the first and certainly not the last.
THAG: Your marine CGI is going to be the worlds most renowned, if it isn't already! Keep up the great work. Oh we are sailing and give me sunshine...😁😉😍💯
3:41 : I have no words. It's exactly like when the Carpathia responded to the Titanic S.O.S signals and went full steam to them. The Carpathia was operated by the Cunard Line, White Star Line's competitor.
heard sleeping sun start, laughed and was excited that you would embrace that song with this video and then it ended and i was slightly upset but not to much. keep up the great works guys. can't wait to explore the ship on steam whenever u guys release it. would actually love to test it for you guys if u need anyone to do so.
While Violet Jessop certainly had a knack for bad luck, her fate wasn't unique. There was a stoker who also survived both Titanic and Britannic as well as being onboard Olympic during the Hawke incident.
His name was Arthur John Priest and he followed the same path as Jessop. He joined Olympic, transferred to Titanic and, like many of Britannic’s crew, served aboard the hospital ship due to his familiarity with the Olympic class.
You know, Britannic was always my favorite Olympic class liner. Sure, Titanic was the most popular, but Britannic being the biggest just amazed me as a kid....I would have loved if she would have survived and actually managed to beach herself on Kea, to then return back to service as a "war veteran". It would have been poetic in a way...
The keel for Britannic was laid on 30 November 1911 at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, on the gantry slip previously occupied by the Olympic, 13 months after the launch of that ship, and the Arlanza, launched only 7 days prior. The acquiring of the ship was planned to be at the beginning of 1914. Due to improvements introduced as a consequence of the Titanic disaster, Britannic was not launched until 26 February 1914, which was filmed along with the fitting of a funnel. Several speeches were given in front of the press, and a dinner was organised in honour of the launching. Fitting out began subsequently. The ship entered dry dock in September and her propellers were installed. Reusing Olympic's space saved the shipyard time and money by not clearing out a third slip similar in size to those used for Olympic and Titanic. In August 1914, before Britannic could commence transatlantic service between New York and Southampton, the First World War began. Immediately, all shipyards with Admiralty contracts were given priority to use available raw materials. All civil contracts including the Britannic were slowed. The naval authorities requisitioned a large number of ships as armed merchant cruisers or for troop transport. The Admiralty paid the companies for the use of their ships but the risk of losing a ship in naval operations was high. The big ocean liners were not initially taken for naval use, because smaller ships were easier to operate. RMS Olympic returned to Belfast on 3 November 1914, while work on Britannic continued slowly. The need for increased tonnage grew critical as naval operations extended to the Eastern Mediterranean. In May 1915, Britannic completed mooring trials of her engines, and was prepared for emergency entrance into service with as little as four weeks' notice. The same month also saw the first major loss of a civilian ocean liner when Cunard's RMS Lusitania was torpedoed near the Irish coast by SM U-20. The following month, the Admiralty decided to use recently requisitioned passenger liners as troop transports in the Gallipoli Campaign (also called the Dardanelles service). The first to sail were Cunard's RMS Mauretania and RMS Aquitania. As the Gallipoli landings proved to be disastrous and the casualties mounted, the need for large hospital ships for treatment and evacuation of wounded became evident. RMS Aquitania was diverted to hospital ship duties in August (her place as a troop transport would be taken by RMS Olympic in September). Then on 13 November 1915, Britannic was requisitioned as a hospital ship from her storage location at Belfast.
5:43 what actually sealed the fate of ship was the open portholes that the nurses left open for wounded soldiers to get fresh air.(As at the time A/C didn't exist.)because the mine explosion flooded six of her watertight compartments.(which is her maximum limit.).
Britannic available on steam? Oh the irony! Joking aside thank you for all the amazing work you do and the insights you provide for us Olympic-class fans!
Dear Tom. Britannic's beam was always intended to be 94 Feet instead of the 92.5 Feet beam of the two earlier sisters RMS Olympic & Titanic. The original and authentic reasoning behind the 94 feet beam was to increase the Britannic's stability and thus therefore maintain her ideal metacentric height. Mark Chirnside's original research has proven this fact at the time of her laying down and not the post April 15th catastrophic Titanic sinking fallout that induced the Britannic redesign and subsequent refit to the Olympic respectively!
You are correct Troy. Yes in October 1911 ( Citing Mark Chirnside's *Olympic + Titanic + Britannic* book and noted on his website www.markchirnside.co.uk/hmhs_britannic_Q&A-myths.htm ) a month before her keel was laid Britannic's intended width was documented as 93.6 feet molded, 94 feet extreme. This change contributed to her greater tonnage and displacement.
Additional weight or especially more top weight (known as "Top Hammer" in warships) changes an ship's Metacentric Height which can adversely affect an ship's stability e.g. excessive rolling in an seaway etc. Negatively affecting an paying passenger comfort!
0:27 huh weird, The keel for Britannic was laid down on November 30, 1911 on the gantry slipway No. 2 previously occupied by the Olympic till she was launched on February 26, 1914 as every ocean liner enthusiast knows yet there was another ship called the SS Statendam as you mention in 3:43 being laid down from sometime in 1912 to July 9, 1914 when she was launched on the same slipway... Is this some kind of conjoined shipbuilding in the works or did they perhaps mistake it for the smaller No. 1 slipway on the left of it or even Titanic's slipway No. 3, Hopefully you guys would have the time to look at this and solve the mystery behind it.
An old Nightwish song is the unofficial theme for the Britannic? Because of one RUclips music video? Okay. Sabaton too? Man, Tom has great taste in clothes AND music. Class act.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when the video started.

Charly_ASMR Aquitaina was larger than the Olympic-Class by hull size. But not by gross weight.

When you say “2,000 tons heavier”, do you mean in terms of gross tonnage or displacement? Gross tonnage doesn’t refer to weight.
Gross tonnage I believe
Displacement was larger as well, Olympic and Titanic had both the same weight.

The first few seconds almost made me pass out 😂 I held my breath the whole time
*The Sun he's sleeping quietly, once upon a century*
Great job with this video, and modelling those ships, you have been make a wonderfull work
You know, Britannic was always my favorite Olympic class liner. Sure, Titanic was the most popular, but Britannic being the biggest just amazed me as a kid....I would have loved if she would have survived and actually managed to beach herself on Kea, to then return back to service as a "war veteran". It would have been poetic in a way...
Amazing video
Titanic: honor and glory
Britannic: patroness of the Mediterranean
Olympic: reliable for scrap
I love history
The keel for Britannic was laid on 30 November 1911 at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, on the gantry slip previously occupied by the Olympic, 13 months after the launch of that ship, and the Arlanza, launched only 7 days prior. The acquiring of the ship was planned to be at the beginning of 1914. Due to improvements introduced as a consequence of the Titanic disaster, Britannic was not launched until 26 February 1914, which was filmed along with the fitting of a funnel. Several speeches were given in front of the press, and a dinner was organised in honour of the launching. Fitting out began subsequently. The ship entered dry dock in September and her propellers were installed. Reusing Olympic's space saved the shipyard time and money by not clearing out a third slip similar in size to those used for Olympic and Titanic. In August 1914, before Britannic could commence transatlantic service between New York and Southampton, the First World War began. Immediately, all shipyards with Admiralty contracts were given priority to use available raw materials. All civil contracts including the Britannic were slowed. The naval authorities requisitioned a large number of ships as armed merchant cruisers or for troop transport. The Admiralty paid the companies for the use of their ships but the risk of losing a ship in naval operations was high. The big ocean liners were not initially taken for naval use, because smaller ships were easier to operate. RMS Olympic returned to Belfast on 3 November 1914, while work on Britannic continued slowly. The need for increased tonnage grew critical as naval operations extended to the Eastern Mediterranean. In May 1915, Britannic completed mooring trials of her engines, and was prepared for emergency entrance into service with as little as four weeks' notice. The same month also saw the first major loss of a civilian ocean liner when Cunard's RMS Lusitania was torpedoed near the Irish coast by SM U-20. The following month, the Admiralty decided to use recently requisitioned passenger liners as troop transports in the Gallipoli Campaign (also called the Dardanelles service). The first to sail were Cunard's RMS Mauretania and RMS Aquitania. As the Gallipoli landings proved to be disastrous and the casualties mounted, the need for large hospital ships for treatment and evacuation of wounded became evident. RMS Aquitania was diverted to hospital ship duties in August (her place as a troop transport would be taken by RMS Olympic in September). Then on 13 November 1915, Britannic was requisitioned as a hospital ship from her storage location at Belfast.
5:43 what actually sealed the fate of ship was the open portholes that the nurses left open for wounded soldiers to get fresh air.(As at the time A/C didn't exist.)because the mine explosion flooded six of her watertight compartments.(which is her maximum limit.).
Britannic available on steam? Oh the irony!
Joking aside thank you for all the amazing work you do and the insights you provide for us Olympic-class fans!
Yaasss, sinking simulation release for Steam!! I hope this means we could anticipate the sinking of the Atlantic in a similar vein.
4:22 Honor and Glory DESTROYS conspiracy theorists with FACTS and LOGIC
Dear Tom. Britannic's beam was always intended to be 94 Feet instead of the 92.5 Feet beam of the two earlier sisters RMS Olympic & Titanic. The original and authentic reasoning behind the 94 feet beam was to increase the Britannic's stability and thus therefore maintain her ideal metacentric height. Mark Chirnside's original research has proven this fact at the time of her laying down and not the post April 15th catastrophic Titanic sinking fallout that induced the Britannic redesign and subsequent refit to the Olympic respectively!
You are correct Troy. Yes in October 1911 ( Citing Mark Chirnside's *Olympic + Titanic + Britannic* book and noted on his website www.markchirnside.co.uk/hmhs_britannic_Q&A-myths.htm ) a month before her keel was laid Britannic's intended width was documented as 93.6 feet molded, 94 feet extreme. This change contributed to her greater tonnage and displacement.
Additional weight or especially more top weight (known as "Top Hammer" in warships) changes an ship's Metacentric Height which can adversely affect an ship's stability e.g. excessive rolling in an seaway etc. Negatively affecting an paying passenger comfort!
Oh sleeping sun, your heir is the crowd panic sound effect.
I like your 3D printed ship's very nicely done 👍👍
GOD i so can t wait for britannic vr to come out that will be so awesome i m sure
Can't wait to explore the sinking on Steam!
I heard Sleeping Sun, and fell backwards about eight years
This is a beautiful ship :)
The Britannic is the perfect Olympic-Class ship
Exploring the Britannic as she sinks on Steam!? Sign me up.
0:27 huh weird, The keel for Britannic was laid down on November 30, 1911 on the gantry slipway No. 2 previously occupied by the Olympic till she was launched on February 26, 1914 as every ocean liner enthusiast knows yet there was another ship called the SS Statendam as you mention in 3:43 being laid down from sometime in 1912 to July 9, 1914 when she was launched on the same slipway... Is this some kind of conjoined shipbuilding in the works or did they perhaps mistake it for the smaller No. 1 slipway on the left of it or even Titanic's slipway No. 3, Hopefully you guys would have the time to look at this and solve the mystery behind it.
An old Nightwish song is the unofficial theme for the Britannic? Because of one RUclips music video? Okay.
Sabaton too? Man, Tom has great taste in clothes AND music. Class act.
