- The final hour of the third and final Olympic class liner, HMHS Britannic.
This video is comprised of a series of play-throughs I did and edited together to give various different perspectives during the sinking of the Britannic. The video has baked historical subtitles, with sources mentioned at the end of the video.
The free camera segments were not done with scripted cameras, they were done manually with a xbox controller as such there are mistakes with my movement. However, I tried to keep movement as smooth and steady as I could.
Filmora9 was used to edit the video together.

55:19 Outro
55:47 Credits - Hry
Loved the video, enjoyable and in-depth about the Britannic
Nice you did good.
It's so weird that everything is in it's exact same place on the wreckage
0:10 Britannic is steaming 20 knots just 1 knot ahead of her cruising speed 21 knots.
Great video Nikki! :)

Toys
Totally understand 🤠🤠🤠😁
From Titanic Honor and Glory Britannic Patroness of the Mediterranean real time sinking video they got the time wrong at 9.05 a.m. Britannic is gone. In the game in history it is said she foundered at 9.12. The correct time is 9.07.
it was most likely a small typo on their video. Correct time is 9:07am yes.
I was very confused about that.
The HMHS Britannic hits the mine at 0:37.
38:47 I've read on the Wikipedia and books about Britannic they never explained why Britannic's rudder is turned to port.
The rudder was turned to port because Britannic was overshooting Kea, but by the time this order was given too much of the rudder was out of the water to be effective. The rudder is facing slightly to port on the wreck today.
@@NikkiChan92 Thank you.
@@imagine4414 i.redd.it/s3343vasccm01.jpg a excellent view of the rudder facing slightly to port.
@@NikkiChan92 I see it.
1:55 An update on this a few years later.
Richie Kohler and his dive team have recently photographed Boiler Room 4. I'm not going to say that the water tight door that separated BR's 5 and 4 failed to shut, but the confirmation that dive photos were taken in that area seem to suggest this to be the case.

Hey, I'm planning on doing a Livestream on the anniversary of the sinking. I was hoping to have a segment of watching and commentating on the real-time sinking. Unfortunately, my computer is incapable of running POTM on stream. I would like to ask if you'd be okay with me using your video? I also prefer a lot more of the angles used in your video than the ones in THG's, and the text provides more details that would be interesting to talk about. If not, that's completely fine.
If you plan to watch with my video in the background playing from this link then that'd be fine. Though please don't download and reupload this video to your channel.
@@NikkiChan92 Yes, that is exactly what I plan. I have no intentions on reuploading it, It'll just be used for the stream. I can also provide a link to your video in the stream description if you would prefer it.
@@ShadowHawkProductions I'll look forward to seeing your stream! Not many out there do livestreams of Britannic too often. :)
@@NikkiChan92 Thank you! I appreciate you allowing me to do this, and I suppose I'll see you around!
How do you get the textures to get clear in the game while the ship is sinking? For me when the ship hits the mine the textures start getting a little blurry. How do I fix it?
for the shots I did up close to the telegraphs I set anti aliasing to medium. The majority of scenes has AA set to high.
NikkiChan92 oh ok! Thank you!
Speaking of the telegraphs, they were made by J. W. Ray and Co. of Liverpool and London. It’s primary headquarters were in 17 South Castle Street in Liverpool.
Conner Rolofson wow! I didn’t even know that! Thanks for sharing!
@@mrplane4205 n o
I love your channel icon
thank you~
I’m going to do a video commemorating the 104th anniversary of the sinking and I want to know how you timed this, like is there a way to pause the game and then move to a different part of the ship?
This video was taken from 15 or so separate play-throughs. Then I used video editing software to time it back together. Often using the in-game sound cues to remember certain events / time scale.
@@NikkiChan92 oh wow I didn’t know you did that! Is it possible to pause the game and then move to another location of the ship?
@@mrplane4205 when using universal unreal unlocker it is yea. I believe p will freeze game time but still let you move around. I didn't use it for this upload though.
@@NikkiChan92 alright thanks! How do I get that though?
@@mrplane4205 framedsc.github.io/GeneralGuides/universal_ue4_consoleunlocker.htm
So I did the anti aliasing and it didn’t work, even though I put it on high
turn motion blur off
NikkiChan92 I did and it worked!
@@mrplane4205 thats great :D
NikkiChan92 thanks!
Titanic honer and glory vibes
Potm was made by them.

With the second beach attemptHad captain bartlett restarted the starboard engine as well im sure the ship would have made it as it was directly aiming for kea when it started moving again
Probably not. The ship sank several miles from Kea only a brief time after the engines were ordered restarted, so it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
@@EpicJoshua314 so many if onlys
@@scotty87able if I had taken a camera view from kea during the final moments, you would've seen that Britannic was still 3 miles from the island when the bow struck bottom.
The rate of flooding increased so much after the engines were restarted that even if the starboard engine had been engaged, Britannic still would've succumb to the sea before hitting a shallow.
@@NikkiChan92 that would be quite a view just looks so close from the port bow.as i said before so many if onlys
@@scotty87able cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664535048103395360/825199330175615036/Britannicpotm_Screenshot_2021.03.26_-_22.37.56.39.png I hope the link works. I just captured this from potm after moving the camera all the way out to kea. Taken when Captain Bartlett signals the two abandon ship whistles. 47:22 in the video.
How do you get the camera to move so slowly? Also how do you move slowly when you are onboard the ship? My character wants to sprint the entire time.
Xbox controller joysticks.
@@NikkiChan92 Can you buy those separately and hook them up to a computer running the game on steam?
@@fnafinc2021 yes, windows 10 and 11 support xbox controllers natively. Steam has profiles set up for them as well.
@@NikkiChan92 Thanks!
51:01 bruh the britannic don’t sink like Lusitania then the funnels
Might wanna refresh on your Britannic research. The funnels are depicted falling the way they do due to how they were discovered on the sea floor. Funnel 3 first, then funnel 2, then funnel 4. Funnel 1 either fell as it went under (as depicted here) or held on until Britannic hit the sea floor. Captain Bartlett mentioned that shortly after he got away from the ship he saw funnel 3 fall first.
