HMS Good Hope was a Drake Class Armoured Cruiser and along with other ships in this class was one of the fastest ships in the world at that time. She became the flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Craddock in his South American Squadron in August 1914. On 1st November 1914 off the coast of Chile the British ships encountered a number of German ships under the command of Vice-Admiral Graf Maximilian Von Spee. The ensuing Battle of Coronel resulted in the loss of HMS Good Hope and HMS Monmouth. There were no survivors from either ship.
