The tragic tale of the loss of HMS Captain, an early British Ironclad. She was the first ocean-going turret warship built to provide all-round firepower and was the first in a line of innovative designs that peaked before WWII. Despite disagreements between the ships designer, Captain Cowper Phipps Coles, RN, and Edward Reed, the Admiralty Constructor, who regarded the design as dangerous, the Admiralty made fatal compromises. The result was the loss of Captain in a fierce gale on the night of 6/7 September, 1870. The death toll was greater than at the Battle of Trafalgar.
