HMS Berwick (1902)

HMS Berwick (1902)

HMS "Berwick" was a "Monmouth"-class armoured cruiser of the British Royal Navy. She was launched on September 20 1902. In 1908 she collided with the destroyer HMS "Tiger" when the destroyer crossed "Berwick's" bows during an exercise in the English Channel, south of the Isle of Wight. "Tiger" was sliced in two and sank with the loss of 28 lives.

She served in the First World War with most of her sisters, and survived to be sold for scrap on July 1 1920. "Berwick" was eventually towed to Hamburg on August 28 1920 to be broken up.
