Dear Mr. Wild,
Enjoyed looking at your new "Britannic" page, and I noted one photograph in your ships that interests you is not the "Arabic" (1903) but the post war "Arabic" (ex-Berlin") - the ship that layed the mine that sank the "Audacious" - for which Captain of the "Olympic" got into trouble. The "Arabic" which you mentioned in your site was built in 1903 and laid down as an Atlantic Transport ship - she was sunk by a U-Boat in 1915 - I wrote a two part article about the ship for THS a few years ago.
