HMS Lord Nelson

Authorised in the naval Budget of 1904, The Lord nelson Class was considered at the time to be a alternative to the dreadnaught while being built. Launched  on the 4th of September 1906 and commissioned into the Royal Navy in October 1908.  (Its completion was delayed due to its 12 inch guns being transferred to HMS dreadnaught).  HMS Lord Nelson was the last Battleship to be powered by reciprocating steam Engines.  HMS Lord Nelson served in the Channel during the opening days of the world war one and then was transferred to the Mediterranean along with the Agamemnon and took part in the bombardment of the Turkish positions during the Dardanelle's campaign. The Lord Nelson was scrapped in 1920.

My great grandfather was a crew member of the HMS Lord Nelson.  You would not believe how excited I was to find information on his ship.  His name was Fredrick McDonald and he served before WW2. I don't know much more that that.  I know they moved to England when my mother was 14 and he died of a stroke before I was born in 1960.  He suffered from Alzheimers brought on by a stroke at the end.    Sharon Nahwegahbow.    Thanks for the info and photo Sharon.
