The Britannic, Titanic, and Oceanic were all famous ships associated with the White Star Line, a prominent British shipping company. Each of these vessels has a unique history and significance:
RMS Titanic: The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that tragically sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. It remains one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history, with the loss of over 1,500 lives. The sinking of the Titanic highlighted the need for improved safety regulations for ships and led to significant changes in maritime safety practices.
RMS Britannic: The RMS Britannic was the third and final vessel built for the White Star Line's Olympic-class trio of ships, which also included the Titanic and the Olympic. It was intended to be a larger and more advanced version of its sister ships. The Britannic was launched in 1914 but was requisitioned as a hospital ship during World War I. On November 21, 1916, it sank in the Aegean Sea after hitting a naval mine. Although the sinking resulted in a significant loss of life, many of the safety features added after the Titanic disaster were credited with saving numerous lives.
RMS Oceanic: The RMS Oceanic was the first ship to be built for the White Star Line. Launched in 1870, it was initially intended for the transatlantic service, marking the beginning of White Star Line's history in passenger transportation. The Oceanic had a long and successful career, operating primarily on the Liverpool to New York route. It eventually met its end when it was sold for scrap in 1896 after being deemed outdated due to the introduction of newer and larger vessels.
These ships, each with its own unique place in maritime history, have captured the public's imagination and have been the subject of numerous books, films, and documentaries over the years.

Casualties: Tragically, more than 1,500 people lost their lives in the sinking of the Titanic, making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history.
RMS Britannic:
Passengers: At the time of its sinking in 1916, the Britannic was being used as a hospital ship and had a considerably smaller passenger capacity compared to the Titanic. The exact number of passengers on board at the time of its sinking is not as well-documented.
Casualties: Out of the estimated 1,066 people on board, 30 individuals lost their lives as a result of the Britannic's sinking in the Aegean Sea, primarily due to the rapid sinking and the subsequent rescue efforts.
RMS Oceanic:
Passengers: The Oceanic, being an earlier vessel, had a more limited passenger capacity compared to the later ships like the Titanic. Its passenger capacity was around 1,000 individuals.
Casualties: The Oceanic did not sink; it was eventually sold for scrap in 1896 after several decades of service.
These numbers provide an overview of the passenger capacity and the tragic loss of life associated with each of the ships, underscoring the immense human impact of maritime disasters.
