Further Information About MARTIN Cameron
HMS Invincible was a battlecruiser commissioned in April 1906. On 31st May 1916 during the Battle of Jutland she was hit by shells fired from the German ships Lutzow and Derfflinger. One of the shells penetrated the front of ‘Q’ turret igniting over 50 tons of Cordite stored below. The resulting explosion tore the ship in half. The ship sank rapidly taking 1,020 men with her, only 6 of her crew members surviving the attack.
