In Memoriam

John Bruce Heyworth, Navy, died on the 26th of May 1917, aged 22.

From his mother, sisters (including his married sister Mary Alice) and brother Walter in India,

62 Dean Head Villas, Summit, near Littleborough

 

The Ramsgate Historical Society published an account of the event:


Based at Ramsgate during the War, were two of HM Torpedo boats used for assisting merchant craft. Boat No.4 was lying alongside the cross-wall in the inner harbour at 8:15 am on Saturday, May 26th 1917, when a terrific explosion occurred aboard, as a result of which fourteen ratings lost their lives in a most shocking manner.

It transpired that a number of bluejackets were cleaning a live torpedo on the forward part of the ship, when the projectile exploded. The concussion was terrific and immediately there was a huge burst of flame which seemed to envelope the ship.

Men who were on the forward part of the decks were simply blown to atoms, but marvellous to relate, three who were standing on the raised gun platform in the immediate vicinity were uninjured. For a moment or two they stood as though petrified, and then, to the amazement of those in the vicinity, walked off onto the harbour wall.

The deck plating of the ship was torn and twisted as though made of tin, and huge pieces of brass and iron, woodwork and splinters of torpedo casing, were hurled, with fragments of human beings, hundreds of feet into the air.

The few men who were below at breakfast must have been simply burned alive, so intense was the heat from the flames
