A Usher Lt RNR 1915 HMS Ramsey torpedoed by German Minelayer Meteor Sydney J 28 ... Ramsey was originally built as the Duke of Lancaster and was owned by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. She was owned briefly by the Turkish Patriotic Committee, before being bought by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company in 1912, with a change of name to The Ramsey. She was requisitioned by the Admiralty on 28 October 1914, and commissioned on 20 November 1914, for use as an armed boarding steamer. Attached to the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow, she was employed on night patrols. On 8 August 1915 she intercepted a steamship flying the Russian flag, but which was actually the German Auxiliary Minesweeper Meteor. After being crippled by point-blank gunfire, Ramsey was struck amidships by a German torpedo and sunk. Five Officers, including the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Harry Raby Royal Naval Reserve, and fifty ratings were lost, and a further four officers and thirty-nine ratings were taken prisoner. On the following day, the Meteor encountered superior British forces and scuttled herself, Ramsey's crew returning home in the Undaunted. 00/01
