Explosion of the RFA Bedenham
The Naval Armament vessel formerly RFA ''Bedenham'' was a naval armament carrier that exploded while docked in Gibraltar on 27 April 1951, killing 13 people and causing a great deal of damage to the town.
==Cause of the explosion==
The ''Bedenham'' had arrived in Gibraltar on 24 April 1951, tying up at Gun Wharf. On the morning of 27 April, depth charges were being unloaded into a lighter when one of them ignited. All the other fighters had withdrawn but Henderson doggedly held a firehose into the fire in the hope that it could be extinguished but in the full knowledge of the probable outcome. Several men were organised to fight the fire from the quayside, but to no avail. There was an explosion in the lighter, and the fire spread to the ''Bedenham'', causing a violent explosion in which the bow was blown out of the water and onto Gun Wharf, while the rest of the ship sank.〔
