HMS Albion - Battleship
Country : UK Launched : 21st June 1898
The sixth “Albion” is a 14-gun twin-screw battleship, built at Blackwall in 1898. She is of 12,950 tons, 13,500 horsepower, and 18 knots speed. Her length, draught, and beam were 390ft, 74ft, and 26ft.
An unfortunate accident took place when she was launched on June 21st. A wave caused by her displacement ran up a side creek, and brought about the collapse of a staging upon which 200 people were standing. Although every available means of rescue were used, 34 persons were drowned, the unhappy victims, with few exceptions, being women and children.
Sold 11th December 1919.
