The HMS Queen Mary was completed on 4th September 1913 by the British
Royal Navy and was the last battlecruiser to be completed before the onset of
World War I. She was the first battlecruiser to place her officers' quarters in
their traditional location, the stern of the ship, rather than closer to their
action stations amidships. In addition she was the first to mount a
sternwalk.
At load she displaced 27,200 tons and was marginally larger than her
Lion class predecessors. The only one of her kind, the HMS Queen Mary joined the
1st Battlecruiser Squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Beatty. She was
sunk at the Battle of Jutland on 31st May 1916.
Today, she lies intact and upside-down on the bottom of the
North Sea, and as the final resting place of
1,257 officers and men, has been declared a protected place under the Protection
of Military Remains Act 1986.
