Introduction

In World War 1, Royal Navy warships still received Prize Bounty Money for the sinking or capture of enemy ships. Warships and auxiliaries also received Salvage Money for saving ships, cargoes and ship's boats.

This information, taken from contemporary editions of the London Gazette (editions are in brackets), is interesting in its own right. Of far more interest is that it records significant events in the wartime careers of small ships, often HM trawlers and tugs, which would not otherwise receive a mention.

For the full set of information, see Royal Navy Ships Receiving Naval Salvage and Prize Bounty Money

un - U-boat claims have been checked with Uboat.net and any discrepencies noted
