Just watching it - Trevor from Eastenders is in it, Evil Trevor!

According to the trivia section, a Titanic survivor was on this ship, think I have heard that elsewhere too. Doesn't say if s/he survived too - if you did survive both sinkings you'd be feeling fairly invincible wouldn't you? But if you survived the Titanic only to die on Britannic - wouldn't you be thinking as you died "Well why didn't I just go the first time?" That is some sick fate!!

Her name was Violet Jessop. She was on Olympic when it collided with HMS Hawke, Titanic and also Britannic. She survived the Britannic sinking.

Besides Jessop, there were two other Titanic survivors aboard Britannic when she sank - Able Seaman Archie Jewell and Fireman Arthur John Priest (who commonly went by his middle name.) Jewell did not survive the war, he was lost at sea in 1917 while serving aboard another hospital ship, Donegal, when she was torpedoed and sank in the English Channel. John Priest was also aboard Donegal, surviving with a serious head injury. He died in 1937, succumbing to pneumonia at age 49.

She was also one of the ones in the lifeboat that was sucked through Britannic's propellors. I think she was the only one in that boat who survived, though I'm not entirely sure.
