Maritime record TQ 87 SW 35 - HMS Tyne
Summary
Remains of 1920 wreck of British storeship which foundered at her moorings in Kethole Reach in the Medway, following a collision, after which she sprang a leak. Constructed of iron in 1878 as a mercantile steamer, she was purchased by the Admiralty virtually immediately during the Russo-Turkish war as a troopship; was converted in 1907 to a "destroyer depot ship"; and paid off in 1919 to be placed on the sale list. The wreck site was dispersed in 1924. Status: Site
