This week Jamie and Leo dig into the full story of the Britannic, her construction, her brief life as a hospital ship, and the disaster that put her on the ocean floor. Along the way, meet the crew members who somehow had to survive a sinking twice. Violet Jessop was there for the Titanic and showed up again for the Britannic, so did Arthur Priest. Archie Jewell survived both ships and then didn't.

We also answer the insurance fraud questions from the Titanic episode (because apparently Leo wasn't alone in hearing this).

The Titanic was an explosive hit movie. The Britannic still made a splash with its own explosive hit.

Serious history. Told not so seriously.
