HMS Tiger by Ivan Berryman The largest and fastest of all the ships that took part in the Battle of Jutland, the elegant battle cruiser HMS Tiger was launched in 1913 and is easily recognisable by the unusual position of Q turret just aft of the third funnel, She is shown about to pass beneath the Forth Bridge as she departs Rosyth for a sea trial |
Battle of the Dogger Bank 1915 by Randall Wilson. HMS Tiger is shown under full steam. |
HMS Tiger - Battle Survivor by Ivan Berryman (PC) During the First World War, HMS Tiger was fortunate to survive both the Battle of Dogger Bank and the Battle of Jutland, having been hit multiple times in both engagements. At Jutland, HMS Queen Mary exploded and sank just a few hundred yards ahead of HMS Tiger, the latter taking evasive action to dodge the wreckage and resulting smoke cloud. |
