ProjectXplore found HMS Tiger in two sections 200 feet below the English Channel after a five-year search, ending more than 118 years of failed efforts to locate the destroyer.
Sonar, archival research and dives showed the 400-ton ship was split by HMS Berwick in 1908, with the two wreck sections now lying about 450 feet apart on the seabed.
Control dials set 5 to 10 degrees to starboard and an engine telegraph still pointing to full indicate Tiger neither turned away nor slowed before impact.
The collision killed 35 of Tiger’s 57 crew, and the remains of those sailors are believed to still rest inside the wreck, which had become a national tragedy in Britain.
