The Bulwark battleship, which was lying in Sheerness this morning, blew up at 7.35 o'clock. The Vice and Rear Admiral, who were present, have reported their conviction that it was an internal magazine explosion which rent the ship asunder. There was apparently no upheaval in the water, and the ship had entirely disappeared when the smoke had cleared away. An inquiry will be held tomorrow which may possibly throw more light on the occurrence. The loss of the ship does not sensibly affect the military position, but I regret to say the loss of life is very severe. Only 12 men are saved. All the officers and the rest of the crew, who, I suppose, amounted to between 700 and 800, have perished. I think the House would wish me to express on their behalf the deep sorrow with which the House heard the news, and their sympathy with those who have lost their relatives and friends." HMS Bulwark, a 15,000 ton battleship was moored in Kethole Reach on the River Medway, opposite the town of Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey. It was part of the 5th Battle Squadron. She had been moored for some days and many of her crew had been given leave the previous day. They had returned to at 07.00 hours that morning and the full complement was on board. The usual ship's routine was taking place when the disaster struck. A roaring and rumbling sound was heard and a huge sheet of flame and debris shot upwards. The ship lifted out of the water and fell back. There was a thick cloud of grey smoke and further explosions. When the smoke cleared, the Bulwark had sunk without trace. None of the Bulwark's officers survived. Rescue work continued during the remainder of the week and on Saturday 28 November, an inquest was opened.
