Enniscorthy Guardian, Nov, 1914; British Battleship blown up. Terrible loss of life, London, Thursday.
It was announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that the battleship ‘Bulwark’ was blown up in Sheerness Harbour this morning. Only twelve lives were saved. The ‘Bulwark’ was a battleship of fifteen thousand tons. She was completed in 1902 and re-commissioned at Chatham in June, 1912. She had a compliment of seven hundred and fifty men, and carried four twelve inch guns. The ‘Bulwark’ cost £997, 846. It is believed that the cause of the disaster was an internal magazine explosion, which rent the ship asunder. There was no upheaval of water, and when the smoke cleared, the ship had entirely disappeared. An inquiry into the affair will be held tomorrow.
Grave or Memorial Reference: Naval. R.C. 8. 390. Cemetery: Gillingham (Woodlands) Cemetery in Kent.
