Britannic: A Glimpse From John Riddell’s Photograph Album (2008)

Early in January 2008, Michail Michailakis and Mark Chirnside were fortunate to purchase an album maintained by John Riddell, who served onboard the hospital ship Panama during the war and took a number of photographs. Four of those photographs turned out to be unpublished images of Britannic, and there were also unique photographs of Aquitania and Mauretania. By careful analysis of the historical record, Mark Chirnside was able to date the photographs to February 4th 1916, for Britannic left Naples at 3.15 p.m. that day.
