M.Rimmer Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I don't normally post in this section,and I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but surely this ship should be saved? http://www.military-times.co.uk/articles/save-hms-caroline-the-last-survivor-of-the-battle-of-jutland.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Hi Seems the National Museum of the Royal Navy has agreed to look after her for now http://www.military-times.co.uk/articles/hms-caroline-may-be-saved.htm Assuming of course no one decides she would be worth more as razor blades.

berna2vm Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Lets hope so. It would be a real tragedy if this piece of our national history were to be destroyed. I wasn't even aware of her existance until reading this thread !!! If only I had won the Euro Millions........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon king Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Theres an interesting hour-long documentary on the BBC iPlayer about the restoration of HMS Caroline in Belfast. The completed restoration is due to be unveiled on 31st May 2016 on the centenary of the Battle of Jutland, a sea battle in which the ship was involved http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07dpwfj/belfasts-forgotten-hero-hms-caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utt61 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just watched the documentary mentioned above, what a heartwarming 'good news' story for a change! Until recently I had no idea that a WW1 light cruiser (and genuine Jutland survivor) still existed, and it is even more remarkable that she still has her original Parsons steam turbines in situ. This is definitely going on the "things to visit" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
