| Monitors
of the Royal Navy were first ordered by Brazil in January 1912. Three
monitors Javary, Madeira and Solimoes were built by Vickers and launched
in 1913. The Brazilian Navy could not afford to purchase them and they
remained at Devonshire Dock in Barrow. To prevent them being sold
overseas and falling into German hands, the Royal Navy purchased them
for £155,000 each and reclassed them as the Humber Class Monitors.
Further monitors were laid down and launched between 1914-1916, these
classes were Abercrombie, Lord Clive, Marshal Ney, Gorgon and the M15
and M29 Classes. The last series produced was the Erebus Class launched
in 1916. |

We are not convinced that this HMS Terror is the

cannot find reference of any other HMS Terror around this period.
