| | HMS Barham (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | HMS Barham was a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of the Royal Navy named after Admiral Charles Middleton, 1st Baron Barham, built at the John Brown shipyards in Clydebank, Scotland, and launched in 1914. |
 | | There is an interesting footnote to this story; At a seance in Portsmouth in late November 1941, Helen Duncan, a Spiritualist medium from Edinburgh, Scotland, announced that she had contacted a dead sailor who had told her that his ship, HMS Barham, had recently been sunk. |
 | | Helen Duncan was not arrested in the aftermath of the Barham incident but later, when superstitious intelligence officers learned of the event, they feared that Duncan might reveal plans for the D-Day landings. |
