	HMS GLADIATOR in Collision
		HMS Gladiator, commanded by Capt Waiter Lumsden, left Portsmouth on the morning of 25th April, 1908 for Portsmouth where she was due to arrive at about 4 p.m.
		The Gladiator was so severely damaged that she had to be beached about a quarter of a mile from the shore.
		Secondly, the Gladiator was the warship that rendered such valuable service when the Berwick-Tiger collision took place and it was Berwick that was one of the first vessels to reach Yarmouth and to help in the salvage of the Gladiator.

	HMS Ganges Association - HMS Ganges at Falmouth - Royal Navy
		H.M.S. "Ganges" was one of the five ships chosen to be converted into a training ship, but not without some objections because of her layout, these however were ignored and once again she sailed, this time for Devonport to be converted.
		This is all that is known of life aboard H.M.S. "Ganges" apart from what is shown in the ship's books, but by reading the newspapers of that time, both the boys and the ship's company engaged in many of the community activities ashore.
		The number of boys joining the ship had been declining for some time and recruiters were having to go further afield, so the decision was made to move the ship closer to the more populated areas and to provide a base for a more permanent establishment.
