Description: Step aboard the HMHS Britannic, the third ship in the Olympic Class trio, who, like her older sister the Titanic, was cheated of a promising career. This ship has never been properly recreated before, and no one has seen her in this state since she sailed the Mediterranean. Now, as the result of extensive research by our team and leading Britannic historians, you can explore her and learn about her like never before.
BRITANNIC: PATRONESS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN is a virtual museum-like experience, where the user can explore the ship at their own pace and discover details about its story, architecture, and contributions to the First World War. This is primarily a learning environment, packed full of history.
Review: ‘Britannic: Patroness of the Mediterranean’ is an interactive scene of sorts based around the sinking around the story of the sinking of the HMHS Britannic in which an explosion caused by a naval mine of the Imperial German Navy near the Greek island of Kea and sank 55 minutes later, killing 30 people. To be fair it is well made, it looks good, but does lack any narration, educational content and historical records of any kind. It’s still an interesting experience that is worth a look if you have an interest in this sort of thing, but the asking price will be a little too steep for many, so it is worth waiting for a sale even if it does sound like something you could enjoy.
