A Royal Navy destroyer sliced in half in a catastrophic collision has been found at the bottom of the Channel – 118 years after the disaster.
The 400-tonne warship HMS Tiger was on a night exercise in April 1908, when she took a wrong turn into the path of giant British 10,000-ton cruiser HMS Berwick.
Ever since, the sunken ship – launched at Clydebank in 1900 – had been sought by both the Royal Navy and shipwreck hunters.
A court later heard that HMS Tiger had taken a 'suicidal', but accidental, wrong turn into Berwick's path.
Meanwhile, the wreck and victims have been left undisturbed at the bottom of the Channel, the co-ordinates a secret.
