118-year-old mystery cracked as divers discover lost warship beneath the waves
Divers recently uncovered the remains of a Royal Navy warship off the Isle of Wight — 118 years after it went down.
The ship, HMS Tiger, sank in 1908 after colliding with another Royal Navy warship, the 10,000-ton HMS Berwick, news agency SWNS reported. More than half of HMS Tiger's 57 crew members were killed in the sinking.
The wreck remained undiscovered until Aug. 10, when the ProjectXplore dive group announced its discovery.
