  What a great group of young women, experiencing the world in their own way.

H.M.S Victoria

from North East Museums

• Billy Embleton said:

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

• Wookie350 said:

  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.

The Queen she came to call on us, I'm glad she didn't fall on us!

  Researchers Beware! There is a nearby photo with two very similar battleships - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523770 Also nearby Royal Yacht 'Victoria & Albert (II)', with a man and woman on the bridge - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000523768 Wiki - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMY_Victoria_and_Albert_(1855)

  beachcomber australia The Krazy Kataloguers have led me astray once more. That is not the Royal STandard at the stern/stem as I thought. The Royal Standard denoting the presence of the monarch is rather more elaborate.

• beachcomber australia said:

  ... which might make the photos before 1901, when V&A II was replaced by V&A III ?

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes! It is the White Ensign - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Ensign The Krazy Kataloguers should have gone to spekksavers!
