First Disaster Caught on Camera | How the Launch of a British Battleship Turned Deadly | HMS Albion

On June 21st, 1898, what should have been a proud moment for the Royal Navy turned into a horrifying disaster. As HMS Albion was launched from the Thames Ironworks in London, a tragedy that could have been prevented took place amongst the thousands of spectators there to see the ship. In this video, I uncover the full story behind one of Britain's deadliest ship launch disasters. From the excitement of the launch day to the shocking aftermath, I explore what happened and how, and also visit the exact spot it happened. Not only was this one of the worst disasters to happen on the Thames, but it was also one of the first to ever be filmed live as it happened. 📍 I also explore the site of the launch on the Thames and visit the memorial dedicated to the victims, a little-known piece of East London’s history hidden in plain sight. 🔔 Subscribe for more incredible but forgotten stories from British history ► Support this channel: Patreon/Tom Macklaw 🔗   / tommacklaw   Disclaimer: All images are believed to be in the public domain, used under attribution, or fall under fair use.
