• Notes

  THE LOSS OF HMS NATAL HMS Natal was a 'Warrior' type cruiser of 13,550 tons. On 30 December 1915 while anchored at Cromarty, there was an explosion aboard caused, as determined by a court of enquiry, by faulty ammunition. The Captain was hosting a film party and had invited a number of guests including his wife and children. While a number of the crew were ashore at a football match, the explosion and the subsequent sinking of the Natal resulted in the deaths of 422 crew and visitors.
