H.M.S Victoria

    Came to a tragic end after sinking after a collision with another warship in the Mediterranean on 22 June 1893.

    VICTORIA was the flagship of the Commander in Chief Mediterranean Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon in 1893. During Officer of the Watch Manoeuvres off Tripoli, VICTORIA was struck by HMS CAMPERDOWN owing to a mentality amongst commanders in those days that demanded a slavish obedience to the orders, even when the orders were incorrect and unsafe. CAMPERDOWN's armoured bow caused massive damage to VICTORIA and she went to the bottom in minutes, taking with her some 358 members of her Ship's Company including Admiral Tryon. Amongst the survivors was her Second in Command, Commander, later Admiral of the Fleet, John Jellicoe who was trapped in his cabin and was only rescued when a young Midshipman recognised he was missing and helped him out. His experience of this incident was instrumental in the way that Jellicoe later handled the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland.

    Looks like a glider on a set of wheels on a launcharm. I wonder how well it flew.
