Poignant that the opening is the centenary, to the day, of HMS Caroline's engagement in the Battle of Jutland.

I am more familiar with the more recent restoration of this vessel having done work on board her but I did learn some interesting information about her previous life and good to hear jolly old Campbell mentioned by one contributor. It made pleasant viewing imbibing a glass or two of Bushmills rather than the Navy's required rum ration . Bottoms up and down the hatch as we say in the old club.
