SHORTLISTED FOR THE MARITIME FOUNDATION AWARD FOR BEST BOOK. Documenting one of the most comprehensive surveys of a shipwreck ever conducted, Simon Mills' new book takes you inside the SS Britannic. for a unique dive into the past. The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic. sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic. is 2 miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic. is much more accessible (only 400ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic. simply no longer exist. Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic. in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic. is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship; it is a fascinating survey supported by stunning, never-before-seen photos from inside the wreck, archival blueprints and original technical schematics of specific areas, and specially recreated digital images of how the ship would have looked. The Britannic. may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills' fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.
