BIG BATTLESHIP
LOSTJBBBITAIN
Bulwark Blown Up in Estuary of
River Medway, Near
London.
ALMOST ENTIRE CREW GONE
-4
Between 700 and 800 Men Killed—Be
lieved to Have Been Caused by Ex
plosion of the Magazine—Russians
Claim Victory Which Is Denied by
Berlin—Little Fighting in Flanders.
London, Nov. 27.—The battleship
Bulwark of Great Britain was blown
up and sunk in the estuary of the
Medway river. Between 700 and 800
men were lost, Including Capt. Guy
Belater, her commander, and all her
officers. Only 14 of her crew were
saved.
It is announced officially that the ex
plosion was interior and originated in
'the ship's magazine.
The disaster is the most appalling,
■with the exception of the loss of the
Audacious, the British navy has suf
fered in war. The men aboard her
had not a lighting chance for their
lives. The boat sank in three min
utes.
The band was playing aboard the
Bulwark. Near her were anchored
several other ships.
Churchill Announces Disaster.
Suddenly a terrific explosion oc
curred in the bowels of the ship. A
great cloud of smoke arose, envelop
ing the Bulwark and shutting her from
sight. A great white flash of fire
streaked through the black veil; the
smoke cloud thickened and rolled out
ward and upward.
Announcement of the loss of the Bul
wark In Sheerness harbor was made
in the house of commons by Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
Only Twelve Are Saved.
Mr. Churchill’s official statement fol
lows:
"The battleship Bulwark was lying
In the harbor at Sheerness when she
was blown up. The disaster occurred
at 7:53 o’clock in the morning. The
ship was tom absolutely asunder and
had entirely disappeared when the
smoke cleared away. It Is the opinion
of the admirals at Sheeraess that the
ship was destroyed by an explosion of
the magazine. Only 14 members of
the crew were saved. The destruction
of the Bulwark will not sensibly af
fect our military or naval position.”
Chief Loss Is in Men.
The Bulwark was of 15,000 tons dis
placement. It wai4 laid down in 1889
and completed in 1902. It was 411 feet
lung, 75 feet wide, and drew 29 feet
of water. Its armament consisted of
four 12-inch guns, 12 6-Inch guns, 16
12-pounders, six 3-pounders and four
submerged torpedo tubes. It had a
complement of 750 men. It cost $5,000,
000.
Although too old to be any longer
in the first fighting line, the Bulwark
still was a useful unit. The loss of the
ship, however, was nothing compared
with the heavy loss in trained officers
and men. The Bulwark in its early, ca
reer was quite a favored ship. For
a long time it was the flagship of Ad
miral Charles Beresford in the Medi
terranean.
