Who saved the Britannic survivors?
Who saved the Britannic survivors? The auxiliary cruiser Heroic, the first of several British warships that responded to the Britannic's distress call, soon arrived on the scene, as did a Greek fishing boat from nearby Port St. Nikolo. Both began picking up survivors. The destroyer Scourge arrived only minutes later.
Who shot the Britannic?
Sunk. On 21 November 1916 the Britannic hit a naval mine in the Kea Channel, off the Greek island of Kea. The mines had been put there by the German submarine U-73. A huge explosion tore a hole in the side of the ship which sunk one hour later.
