With the outbreak of the Great War, another ship, the transatlantic HMHS "Britannic", Sister ship of the "Titanic", was put at the service of the British Navy as a hospital ship, Violet Jessop having done a nursing course, board the ship as one of the aid tours, but on November 21, 1916 the ship collided with a German mine and sunk in less than an hour. She was again rescued alive.
