What unfortunate event happened during the launch of HMS Albion in 1898?

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Boiler exploded?

 

[DaleCooper]

Boiler exploded?

No, I think the machinery is fitted after launching.

 

[MotCO]

It sank?

 

[SuspectUsual]

It created an enormous wave/splash that soaked whichever dignitary was launching it

 

[DaleCooper]

It sank?

No, by then the naval dockyards had got the hang of making ships that floated.

 

[DaleCooper]

It created an enormous wave/splash that soaked whichever dignitary was launching it

No, although you're getting warm.

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Missiles fired at the wrong moment? Launched when the tide was 'wrong', too low or too high?

 

[SuspectUsual]

No, although you're getting warm.

Warm but not wet?

 

[SuspectUsual]

The ceremonial bottle of fizz didn’t break when it was bashed against the side of the ship?

 

[TheEdge]

[LSWR Cavalier]

The ceremonial bottle of fizz didn’t break when it was bashed against the side of the ship?

Champagne bottle damaged the hull of the ship?

 

[DaleCooper]

Missiles fired at the wrong moment? Launched when the tide was 'wrong', too low or too high?

Which one of those three is your answer?

 

[DaleCooper]

The ceremonial bottle of fizz didn’t break when it was bashed against the side of the ship?

No, the bottle smashing went to plan.

 

[DaleCooper]

Did it launch directly into a barge with the visiting dignitaries watching?

No, that would have been funny.

 

[DaleCooper]

Champagne bottle damaged the hull of the ship?

The rule I apply is that you only get another guess after I've answered your last one.

 

[xotGD]

Ship headed straight across the river and crashed into the other bank.

 

[TheEdge]

No, that would have been funny.

Well that implies death...

Did it launch and end up swamping the bank, washing away and drowning some or all of the audience?

 

[DaleCooper]

Ship headed straight across the river and crashed into the other bank.

Not on this occasion.

 

[DaleCooper]

Well that implies death...

Did it launch and end up swamping the bank, washing away and drowning some or all of the audience?

Near enough, the wave created by the ship collapsed a stage from which 200 people were watching. 34 drowned, mainly women and children.

Your turn...
