It's such a shame that Britannic never got the chance to live up to her true potential. Thankfully, the oldest sister of the three Olympic class liners lived a long and prosperous life and actually earned the title "unsinkable" and for good reason, too. It's such a shame, though, that the Olympic was scrapped. If you're like me and your fond of old ocean liners and ships, ESPECIALLY Titanic and her sisters, there's a heartbreaking photo of Olympic's scrapping where they're actually breaking down the grand staircase that really hits hard. Obviously, this movie is of Britannic and I veered off from what I originally planned to comment, but it's impossible to think of her without thinking of her two older sister ships. I think, had she not become a hospital ship during World War 1, she would have gone on to live a fantastic life and it's really unfortunate that she wasn't given that chance. For anyone who has never seen what Britannic's forward grand staircase looked like in comparison with Olympic or Titanic, the developers of "Titanic: Honor and Glory" made a similar (but smaller) demo featuring the Britannic (Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean) and the dark, rich, beautiful colors were very unexpected; I highly suggest anyone who hasn't seen it, take a look for themselves because it's honestly spectacular and somewhat backs up my "wasted potential" comment.
