	Sir George Tryon - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR GEORGE TRYON (1832-1893), British admiral, a younger son of Thomas Tryon, of Bulwick Park, Northamptonshire, was born on the 4th of January 183 2.
		He entered the navy in 1848, on board Lord Dundonald's flagship on the North American station; was subsequently in the "Vengeance" with Lord Edward Russell in the Black Sea; was landed for service with the naval brigade; and was made a lieutenant in November, but dated back to the 21st of October 1854.
		By a fatal error, the psychological cause of which has never _been explained, he ignored the patent fact that the two columns were so near each other that the manoeuvre, as ordered, must entail the most serious risk, if not certainty, of collision.

		Miss Blanche Leary, whom Tryon found in the house upon his return, was a demure, pretty little blonde, with an amiable disposition, a talent for society, and a pronounced fondness for George Tryon.
		Tryon, had for a long time enjoyed that lady's favor, and was her choice for George's wife when he should be old enough to marry.
		Tryon was so cordial, and insisted so strenuously upon her remaining, that Blanche's love, which was strong, conquered her pride, which was no more than a reasonable young woman ought to have who sets success above mere sentiment.

		Tryon had accepted that 1800 yards would be the minimal space but oddly on the day reverted to his original plan of 1200 yards.
		Tryon became enraged that his order was not being followed; it was inevitable that there would be a collision and as Victoria and Camperdown closed it was obvious that a collision would occur.
		Tryon was drowned in the incident but John Jellicoe later to gain fame in WW1 as Admiral Sir John Jellicoe survived the incident.

		In all, 358 British seamen were killed, including Tryon, who was held entirely responsible for the greatest peacetime disaster in the history of the Royal Navy.
		There is Tryon’s cabin, the iron landing from which he saw the Camperdown bearing down upon him, the Victoria’s 10-inch rear gun still in place, her 12 side-cannons still mounted to repel the Germans she would never fight in the First World War.

		Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon KCB (right) was one of the most outstanding naval officers of his generation.
		Tryon was an expert in fleet handling, and fond of ordering unorthodox formations to keep his officers on their toes, so if any of his subordinates thought the orders strange they trusted him to know what he was doing.
		Tryon had managed to sink one of Her Majesty's most impressive warships on a sunny day in perfect sailing conditions.

		Tryon, having bowed repeatedly in response to the liberal applause, advanced to the judges' stand and received the trophy from the hands of the chief judge, who exhorted him to wear the garland worthily, and to yield it only to a better man.
		Tryon bowed himself away, and after a number of gentlemen and a few ladies had paid their respects to the Queen of Love and Beauty, and received an introduction to her, Warwick signaled to the servant who had his carriage in charge, and was soon driving homeward with his sister.

		The arrival of Tryon marked the assumption of a higher profile by the Australian Station.
