HMS Tiger
A destroyer of the Royal Navy rated at 380 tons, this HMS Tiger is best known for its unfortunate demise. Launched in 1900, the Tiger was part of a short exercise in 1908, involving a home fleet based at Portsmouth and an attacking destroyer fleet, of which Tiger was a member. The two fleets met at night, but the exercise went badly wrong as the HMS Berwick rammed the Tiger, splitting the destroyer in half. Tiger sunk in just three minutes off the coast of St. Catherine's Point, Isle of Wight, with the loss of 35 lives, including commanding officer Lt.Cmdr Middleton. 22 of the crew were rescued.
