Pre-dreadnought Battleship, Canopus-class Pendant Nos. N.29 (1914), N.17 (1.18). Launched 13.10.97 Portsmouth DY. 12,950 tons, 421(oa), 390(pp)x74x26ft. TE 13500ihp, 18kts. Armament: 4-12in, 12-6in, 12-12pdr, 4-18in tt. Armour: 6in sides, 2.5in deck, 9in guns. 7th or 9th BS, Channel Fleet at outbreak of war, then abroad. Battle Honour (and link to despatches, casualties, awards) Dardanelles 1915/16. Sold 18.2.20 Stanlee. (British Warships 1914-1919) Launched 12/10/97, on 7 August 1914 she commissioned in the 8th Battle Squadron for service in the Channel, but on 23 August went to Cape St Vincent as guardship. In October 1914 she went to the South American Station for service as guardship at Port Stanley and the Abrolhos Rocks. During this period she was part of Rear-Admiral Cradock's force, but because of an erroneous report that she could only make 13kts Cradock left her behind when he offered battle to Von Spee's squadron. She then returned to Port Stanley and beached herself on the mudflats, sent some of her 12pdr guns ashore, and established spotting stations ashore. On the morning of 8 December her 12in guns fired some ranging salvoes at the German cruisers, but no hits were reported. Went to Dardanelles in January 1915 and took part in the bombardments of 2 and 18 March, as well as the blockade of Smyrna and the main landings. Returned to Home Waters early in 1916 and was paid off at Chatham. Served as accommodation ship until sold. In 1917 8 main deck 6in guns replaced by 4 on battery deck; light AA also added in place of 12pdrs and 3pdrs. (Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-21) |

Notes: 1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated. 2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank. |
