HMS Ablemarle, Victory, Egmont Seeking information on P. O'Hanlon who served as a stoker on these ships during WW1 hostilities.Any information about the ships would be also welcome.

Rish Some info for you: Victory 11 was a naval training establishment at Crystal palace and not actually a ship. Similarly, Egmont was a RN shore establishment within on old fort in Malta. In 1933 the establishment was renamed Fort St Angelo. I am assuming you mean the battleship HMS Albermarle? If so, look at this site for some photos: [url]http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/hms_albemarle.htm[/url] Hope this helps. John

Rish A few pictures of HMS Albemarle. Bob.

Hi John, Thank you for your reply. Just obtained a hand written record of my Dads service record for WW1 and it is difficult to deciper the writing, so please excuse the spelling mistakes. Do you have any links I could follow that would provide any further information? Also would you know if any of these establishments/ ships were under attack during the hostilities? Trish

Hi Bob, Thank you for these photos. Anything else you have on Albemarle would be appreciated. Trish

Hi Rish No need to apologise for spelling mistakes. I spelt Albemarle incorrectly myself in the last post. Not sure if Albemarle was damage in battle but was in collision with HMS Commonwealth prior to the war. She was very badly damaged in a storm whilst passing through the Pentland Firth and had most of her bridge swept away. She served for a while as an ice breaker in arctic waters. One thing you may find interesting is that in 1907 Robert Falcon Scott (Scott of the Antartic) served aboard her. There does not seem to be a great deal of info on Victory 11 going around. It seems that it was an accounting establishment for the Royal Naval Division. Between 1905 and 1914 it was in Portsmouth. 1914 to 1919 it seems to have been at Crystal Palace. There are other references to Victory IV and VI having been at CP too. I am sure there are books dealing with RN shore establishments that can be bought and would provide the answers. If you want to see pictures of Egmont have a look at Maltese tourism sites as these usually have shot of Fort St Angelo, as it is now known. I doubt either of the shore establishments came under attack in WW1 due to air power being in its infancy. Regards.....John

Everything we obtain for this site is shown on the site, we do not have any more photos, crew lists or further information on any of the ships.
