Divers have recovered artifacts from the Britannic, the Titanic's sister ship, for the first time since it sank in 1916. An 11-member team spent a week in May retrieving items including the ship's bell and navigation light from the wreck, located 120 meters deep in the Aegean Sea. The recovered artifacts reflect both the ship's luxury design and its wartime use as a hospital ship. Difficult conditions, including strong currents and low visibility, were overcome by the team.
