		It concluded that the ship was insufficiently stable - at 14 degrees heel (when the edge of the deck touched the sea) the torque due to the buoyancy pushing the ship upright again was just 410 foot-tons (1.2MNm).
		HMS Monarch, another masted turret ship which was present at the sinking, had a righting torque of 6,500 foot-tons (20MNm) at the same angle.

		HMS Warrior is now the only surviving iron warship in the world, and is on display in Portsmouth.

	HMS Ganges Royal Navy Association - George Fleming
		This photograph was taken on Saturday 09/10/1999 the day after the memorial was unveiled outside the City Hall in Belfast, when Tiny Little on behalf of the HMS Ganges Association laid a wreath in memory of J. Magennis V.C. There was also a family wreath laid from Mick's family in Bradford.
		This single memorial I believe is the only one I know of (to a lower deck sailor) to be erected and situated in such a prime position beside a memorial to a past monarch (Queen Victoria) in the grounds of a City hall in any City or large Town in the United Kingdom.
		This memorial commemorates Britian's highest award for valour, the Victoria Cross to Belfastman and ex-HMS Ganges boy leading Seaman James Joseph Magennis for outstanding bravery whilst serving as a diver in HM Midget Submarine XE-3 for her attack on the heavy Japanese cruiser TAKAO "Operation Struggle" Johore Strait, Singapore on July 31 1945.

		HMS Captain was the inspiration of the Royal Navy's Captain Cowper Coles, an early advocate of center-line turrets for warships.
		Coles's ideas were not readily accepted by the naval establishment, which had modified his ideas in their development of HMS Monarch.
		Although designed with a freeboard of only 8.5 feet—the intent was to minimize the area of hull exposed to enemy fire— Captain was so heavily built that her upper deck rested only 6.5 feet above the waterline at full draft, which made her a wet ship in all but the calmest weather.

		As one would expect, the loss of one of it’s vessels was viewed as a very serious matter indeed by the Royal Navy, and was the subject of a Court Martial held aboard the HMS Monarch, the port guard ship, in Simon’s Town on 26 February 1901.
