		The various figures now called dragons probably have no single origin, but were spontaneously envisioned in several different cultures around the world, based loosely on the appearance of a snake and possibly fossilized dinosaur and Tertiary mammal megafauna remains.
		In many oriental cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe.
		Some believe that the dragon may have had a real-life counterpart from which the legends around the world arose—typically dinosaurs are mentioned as a possibility—but there is no evidence to support this claim.

		As you know, the HMS Doterel was built in the Chatham Dockyard in 1880 (just down the Road from where I live!).
		As for the cause of the sinking of HMS Doterel; although the British Admiralty claims it was anti corrosive paint that caused the explosion, the Irish Nationalist group the âFeniansâ claimed responsibility.
		the HMS Dragon was actually a closer sister ship to the Doterel, as there were changes to her stern deck, etc. and thus she was closer in construction to Dragon rather than Gannet.
