Greece has announced the recovery of artefacts from the wreck of the HMHS Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, more than a century after it was sunk in the Aegean Sea during World War One.

• The recovery operation, conducted in May but publicly announced on Monday, yielded items such as the ship’s lookout bell, a portside navigation lamp, binoculars, ceramic tiles, and equipment from first- and second-class cabins.
• An 11-member team of deep-sea divers, led by British historian Simon Mills, founder of the Britannic Foundation, carried out the retrieval.
• The Britannic, requisitioned as a hospital ship, sank on November 16, 1916, after striking a German mine off the island of Kea, resulting in 30 deaths out of 1,065 people on board.
