On November 26, 1914, HMS Bulwark was anchored off Sheerness
when at 07.53 the ship was "rent asunder" by a massive
internal explosion caused by the poor storage of cordite
charges, some of which were twelve years old. The ship sank
instantly,
taking with her a full complement of 781 ranks and ratings.
