HMS Verulam (1917)

HMS Verulam (1917)

HMS "Verulam" was a Admiralty V class destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was built by Hawthorn Leslie and was launched on 3 October, 1917. She struck a mine off the island of Seiskari in the Gulf of Finland on the night between September 3-4, 1919, and sank.

The sunken destroyer was given to the state of Finland on 12 December, 1919 together with her sister HMS "Vittoria", but when salvage efforts began in 1925 it was found that both ships were broken in two and impossible to repair.
