Remarks on the loss of HMS Captain and the 18 survivors
« on: 04 December 2024 01:12:48 pm »
The other day while I was browsing the Internet I came across this website Oceanliner which told of the 1870 loss off Spain of a Turrent warship HMS Captian
Of about 500 on board only 18 survied  they were part of the Starboard watch and lived only because a ships boat had broken as the vessel capsized

Here is a link to a photograph of the surviviors at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HMS_Captain_1869_Survivors_1870_(cropped).jpg

As regard their identies  here is another link to the photographic website ALAMY which has a photomontage of the survivors..and their names as well! ;D ;)
