| HMS Agincourt, launched in 1865 and converted to coal hulk C.109 in 1909. She was one of three Minotaur Class armoured frigates and carried five masts with full rigging in addition to a two cylinder steam engine driving a single propeller. Agincourt was built by Laird, Son & Co at Birkenhead. She became a training ship in 1893 and was renamed HMS Boscwen III then HMS Ganges II in 1908. She was moored off Sheerness until scrapped in 1960.

Does anyone know which decommissioned and gutted Great War Warship provided the hull for that coal Hulk? The ram-bow shows the ship was a pre-Great War warship design. My dad used to say it was HMS Thunderer - but she was scrapped up in Blyth in the mid 1920's. The ship in the background was HMS Maidstone, 497 ft long, - and the coaling hulk is obviously shorter than that so maybe it wasn't a battleship hull at all but a decomissioned Gt. War Cruiser? |
