| Description |
English: HMS 'Lord Clyde' Ashore on the Island of Pantellaria. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 6 April 1872. H.M.S. LORD CLYDE. The misadventure to this fine ironclad war-ship, on the 14th ult., was, happily, not attended by such disastrous results as might have been feared. The Lord Clyde, which forms part of the Mediterranean Squadron, had been sent from Malta to the aid of an English steamer, the Raby Castle, aground on the island of Pantellaria. This island is situated between the Tunisian peninsula of the African coast and the southwestern shore of Sicily, By some means the Lord Clyde herself got aground, in the position shown in the sketch from which our Engraving is made. The other vessel, anchored ahead of her, is the Turkish screw-steamer Babel, which rendered assistance in laying out a bower anchor for the Lord Clyde to heave off with. The Babel was commanded by an English master, Captain J. C. Gilbert. The Raby Castle is seen lying beyond the rocks. A report of the accident was sent to Malta, and Rear-Admiral Key, in the Lord Warden, with a few tugs and lighters, went off immediately to help the Lord Clyde. She was soon got afloat, but was found to have lost her rudder and stern-post, and to have sustained damage in her screw and other machinery. The Lord Warden towed her to Malta for the repairs needed. |
