Titanic’s sister ship Britannic to be open to recreational divers

The wreck of the sister ship of the Titanic will be open to divers after the relaxation of rules that were designed to prevent looting in European waters.

Built in Belfast’s Harland & Wolff shipyard, the Britannic was converted into a British hospital ship during the First World War and was sunk by a mine in the Aegean Sea near Greece in 1916.

It will soon be open to recreational divers under Greek legislation to be voted on next month.
