Titanic's sister ship, Britannic, was the largest vessel lost during WW1. Today, its wreck site lies at a depth of only 390 feet. Britannic was the youngest among the three steamships of the White Star Lines' 'Olympic' class, following Titanic and Olympic. Originally designed as an Atlantic liner, it was urgently converted into a hospital ship for service in the Mediterranean during the First World War. For its new role, Britannic was repainted white with prominent red crosses and a horizontal green stripe, and it was renamed HMHS (His Majesty's Hospital Ship) Britannic. On November 21, 1916, at 8:12 am, while sailing in the Aegean Sea, Britannic struck a German mine and sank within a remarkably short time of 55 minutes. Although 30 individuals lost their lives, unlike the Titanic, the majority of the people on board (1,035 individuals) survived the sinking. The sinking of Britannic represents the largest loss of a ship during the First World War. Due to the vessel's massive size and the relatively shallow water in which it sank (400 feet/122 m), the wreck remains one of the largest intact passenger ship wrecks in the world.

With the current war in #Ukraine and many civilians fleeing the country, the U.S. has released info and guidelines as to how Ukrainians can process their visas through the U.S. embassy in Warsaw, Poland. Read more on our blog… berardiimmigrationlaw.com/visa-processin…

Zelensky just said he’s going to pay Ukranian soldiers 100,000 hryvnia per month. That’s about $3,300, more than 6x avg income: “Not just in order to say “Thank you”, but to show how truly indebted Ukraine is to them. And it will remain this way until the war ends.”

Ukraine-Russia talks began just before 6aET, 1pm Kyiv time.

Here we go?

@belval_michel So well said.

Let’s us pray for peace. #peace #Ukraine

POTUS confirms: "Today, I have directed my administration to impose sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its corporate officers. These steps are another piece of our initial tranche of sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine."

The US has assessed that Russia has completed all preparations  for an invasion, a senior US defense official familiar with the latest intelligence.  “They are as ready as they can be,” the official said, per @barbarastarrcnn.
