This page includes basic information about the ships and how they were lost, a photo of the relevant panel(s) of the Tower Hill Memorial and information about those that lost their lives extracted from the CWGC database. In the table I have included information about those who served on the ships but who had a normal burial as this seems appropriate to me. In some cases further family information about the individuals may be available on the CWGC website [7].

Vanguard
Vanguard was a 142 GRT sailing vessel (fishing vessel). She was probably built by J.Taylor in 1885 and owned by Smith Bros. of Burnham-on-Crouch according to Uboat.net - [2] - but there is a discrepancy between the date of loss recorded there (16 November 1916) and the date recorded by the CWCG. Assuming this is correct, She was stopped and sunk by explosive charges on 16 November 1916 by German submarine UB-40 at position 49° 53' N, 00° 13' E - approximately 18 nautical miles North-West by North of Cape d'Antifer. She was en route from Honfleur to London in ballast.
