What starts off as a regular Deck Tour turns into tragedy.
Exiting the Grand Staircase, we enter the A-Deck Enclosed Promenade. The windows here have been enlarged compared to Titanic, and now more resemble Queen Mary's promenade. Heading forward to the Forecastle Deck, we get to examine some of the machinery used for docking and anchoring. Then, the unexpected happens. Britannic hits a mine. There is a large explosion, and the horns start signaling. We bring up the special Helm Cam to see what is happening at the Bridge. As our tour continues, we head upstairs to the B-Deck Enclosed Promenade. A feature Olympic had but was left out of Titanic. Britannic's only goes as far as the boarding entrance though, as Olympic's extends the entire length of the deck. Up another flight of stairs, we come to the Bridge. There is an annoying alarm going off letting everyone know we just struck a mine. For sanity's sake, I have muted it. Our tour is put on temporary pause as we watch some of the first lifeboats being swung out. As we loop around the aft funnel, we come across a staircase leading down to the A-Deck Open Promenade. This would have been attached to the Enclosed Promenade we saw earlier, but has been separated by a temporary wall due to the war. After that, word gets around that a few of the lifeboats have already launched. Feeling panicked, it is best to head to a lifeboat now. Unfortunately, this is not the right boat to be in. Neither is the next. Not wanting to crush any more lifeboats, a signal is sent out to stop all engines. While Britannic has stopped, it is now the best time to evacuate everyone else. While the evacuation commences, lets take a look at the aft areas we haven't seen yet. Heading downstairs, we will see the Aft Open Promenade, Shade Deck, Docking Bridge, and Aft Closed Promenade. Finally, with all the lifeboats launched, Britannic restarts her engines for the last time to pull away. While Britannic signals her whistle for the final time, we hop into the last lifeboat and watch the liner take her final plunge.
