1915 Daily Mail article differences
[edit]The Daily mail article (p. 10) has some differences about her history:
- On Feb 15 1915 it was sold to the "well known breakers of battleships, Messrs, Hughes, Bolckow, and Co. (Limited), of Blyth ... from 1859 to 1905 she served continuously as a training ship for naval cadets ... Built in 1820 as a line-of-battleship the Britannia saw service in the Crimean War, when as flagship of Admiral Dundas she took part in the bombardment of Sebastopol on October 17, 1854 ... until the necessary alterations were made, in 1858, to fit for her new duties as a training ship" Daily mail article (p. 10)
Did the Daily Mail confuse two ships the HMS Britannia (1820) and HMS Prince of Wales (1860)? -- Esemono (talk) 23:26, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
