Admirals in Collision

The tragedy of the H.M.S Victoria is a riddle that no one has ever be able to solve.

The flagship of the Royal Navy’s Mediterranean Fleet sank within ten minutes of colliding with another Navy Battleship, causing both despair and confusion as people wondered how it could have sunk so quickly. It has been a mystery ever since it took place, whilst also being an enormous tragedy that caused the loss of 350 crew.

Through concise but gripping detail, Hough explores and discusses the facts through studying two protagonists in the catastrophe, shedding light on how the accident could have possibly happened.
