Yeah, that doesn't really make sense, does he think there was just a guy sitting on the crow's nest hammering away at the bell through the whole sinking?

The titanic and brittanic are the last two examples of the Olympic class liners

[@jennifers.7912]

There seems to be some confusion about two points: 1.) why so little of the bell is visible and 2.) whether the bell has been raised. The bell is buried in the sea floor. At the end of the video, you can see the gooseneck shape of the top of the bell sticking out. Greek law prevents anyone from disturbing artifacts, so our team could not dig the bell out. That brings up the second point. We did not raise the bell. It is illegal to remove artifacts from a shipwreck without approval from the Greek government. We hope to one day return to retrieve the bell and put it in a museum for all to enjoy, but it will take years of negotiations between the ship’s owner and the Greek and British government. Until then, the bell will remain where it is, partially buried beneath Britannic.

[@jamesholton2630]

They won’t be able to raise her because she will topple apart

Closing, what I meant by ‘bottom time’ is that Trimix was quite a novelty back then and they didn’t had the background to stay longer at those depths, otherwise they would have “cleaned” the area.

An example would be the great lakes (Erie, lake Michigan etc..) which are too cold to sustain marine organisms like Shipworm. Another location I can give as an example would be the Black sea which not only has wrecks at deep depths but also has an anoxic layer where there is no soluble oxygen in the water as well as high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide which kills most living things.

@@DeathValleyLumberCompany yes and no. If you remove an artifact from an environment which had conditions which preserved it , you risk damage once its on the surface. One an object hits the air, it will begin to degrade. Wood for example would have the saturated water begin to evaporate on the surface causing shrinkage, warping , and cracks. Metal and wood( if they were in salt water ) would begin to accumulate salt crystals as the water evaporates causing further damage. Not to mention any chemical reactions cause by the reintroduction of oxygen.

I don't know how much of this is true a lot of Britannic was stripped, this doesn't mean that she wasn't exactly fitted out.

Portions of Britannic's grand staircase from C deck up still remained after she entered Service as HMHS Britannic, but Britannic's Honour and Glory clock a signature of the White Star Line in Olympic class ships ( which yes the Britannic had the same clock as the Olympic and the Titanic on her grand staircase not a portrait ).

They CAN'T. The Greeks are VERY, VERY strict about diving in their waters. NO salvage is allowed without the Government's permission. It's hard enough even getting permission to DIVE there. One of the divers wrote a book on his and other BRITANNIC Expeditions - he told how a Greek official, when they laid a memorial plaque on the wreck, actually mistakenly thought they had LIFTED something from it, and immediately not only stopped the expedition, but forced them to turn over all their footage of their exploration (they only got around it by secretly making copies of it all before the officials boarded and seized the tapes). If the Greek government ever caught wind that something was salvaged (and believe me, they WOULD - they are always watching), whatever they brought up would immediately be seized, the expedition would be over, and the parties responsible probably banned from any diving in Greek waters forever (or they would at LEAST be arrested).

I believe the Greek government has just declared HMHS Britannic as open to divers. Definetly something I must do. I have no idea how to dive and I can't afford it now but one day I will learn the craft for this single purpose. I must see an Olympic class with my own Mk.1 eyeballs. And very few people died compared to Titanic so I feel better about gawking at it. Would love to see Titanic but I imagine it's hugely expensive and I don't like how little care these commercial subs show towards the wreck. Besides Britannic is in such amazing condition and I feel like I've seen Titanic with all the photos, Britannic seems like a much cooler opportunity and a better view. Can you see her on a clear day from the surface?

[@zarkeryentargaryen6170]

How much would the bell cost?

[@jimmieallen5096]

That ship needs more exploration..

[@ronigamboa371]

I never seen a sad story of britanic

[@jakebillingham8551]

Apart from the 30 lives that were killed by her port propeller and one of those people that was killed was a 15 year old boy and then not forgetting that she was on a mission of mercy to bring back the sick a wounded from the front and then sinking baring in mind she could fit over 3 thousand sick and wounded so loosing the ship was a massive loss to the medical field in the WW1 so I think it’s a very sad thing to happen and that she was a big loss to the white star line

[@CoolrexAAAAAAA]

The brittanics bell is in Liverpool's museum

[@dvtenaciousatlanticwrecksa6488]

That is the M.V. Britannic not H.M.H.S. Britannic.

Actually it was not the largest ship when it was built I can’t remember but a German ship was the largest when the Britannic sank and was made

[@unethicalheadspace]

people guarding Britannic's wreck? THAT AINT STOPPIN ME FROM GOING DOWN THERE! if any of you are wondering: no I don't want those worthless artifacts, I just want to explore the ship

[@raymondhutchinson7156]

for most wrecks, there is no one guarding them. Its been an issue off the cost of Asia (especially of the coast of Malaysia) because salvagers have been salvaging whole ships for steel. Most of the ships salvaged are war graves. Salvagers have focused on the steel from these ships because pre 1945 steel doesn't contain any radioactive particles. Lets just hope some idiot doesn't try and destroy Britannic

[@thomasthereallyusefultanke4139]

Did they find Brittanic's Bell?

[@jennifers.7912]

Yes, the gooseneck of the bell is sticking out of of the sand. The bell is buried beneath.

[@StormS4bre]

Its not lost its under the crows nest

[@dvtenaciousatlanticwrecksa6488]

No one had seen it since the ship sank. That is what we meant by lost.

They left it there

Basically humanity gavel their big bell to some fish

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Copper Rank Main Sad, it should go to a museum to be appreciated.

[@austintemple8832]

@@gruppenfuhrer45 with it being a protected wreck people are not allowed to take artifacts off of the wreck unless authorized by the government. That being said it is nearly impossible to have a government sign off on taking artifacts because it would cost them too much money and legal processes involved. It is best to let the artifacts lay in their final resting spot. Trust me there have been some awesome finds that I have been a part of and unfortunately they were protected by the government and I couldn't take it even to donate to a museum.

Why the titanic never discovered like this by diving in

[@dvtenaciousatlanticwrecksa6488]

Titanic is far too deep to dive. You need a submersible.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

The Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic and where it's more than two miles deep.

Not allowed to lift ANYTHING By order of Greek government.

No

[@dvtenaciousatlanticwrecksa6488]

The Greek government prohibits raising artifacts without permission. The bell remains where it was found.
