Folded card. The sinking of HMS Victoria took place at approximately 15:30 on 22 June 1893, after H.M.S. Victoria, the flagship of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, collided with H.M.S. Camperdown while on fleet manoeuvres in the Eastern Mediterranean. The collision caused significant damage to Victoria's bow, with a large hole produced causing the ship to rapidly capsize. Victoria took approximately fifteen minutes to sink, with 358 members of the crew, including Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, lost in the disaster; a further 357 were rescued. [Wikipedia]
