British First World War Light Cruiser HMS Caroline Prepares For Extensive Restoration In Belfast Docks

BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND - JANUARY 29: HMS Caroline rests in Alexandra dock in sight of Harland and Wolff shipyard on January 29, 2013 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A National Heritage Memorial Fund grant of 1.097 m GBP will go towards urgent preventative work to secure the Caroline. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund is made in order to go ahead with full restoration of the 446 ft ship. Built by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead in 1914 she was part of the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron which saw action in the Battle of Jutland in 1916 and is the last surviving Royal Navy ship from that period still afloat. At the time of her decommissioning in 2011, she was the second oldest ship still in Royal Navy service. HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship preserved at Portsmouth, being the oldest. Caroline was converted into a depot and training ship for The Royal Navy Reserve in Alexandra Dock in Belfast in later years. (Photo by Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
