HMS Warrior (1917)
HMS ''Warrior'' was a steam yacht, twice commissioned by the Royal Navy, which participated in both World Wars, as well as in the Spanish Civil War. She was bombed and sunk in 1940.
==''Warrior''==
The 1,266-ton yacht, originally named ''Warrior'', was built for Frederick William Vanderbilt in 1904 in Troon, Scotland by the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company; she was designed by G.L. Watson. Powered by a twin triple-expansion T3-cylinder 15-knot 2-screw engine, later altered by A. & J. Inglis to a twin 4-cylinder triple expansion engine, she was 284 feet long, with a beam of 32 feet and a draught of 17 feet.〔(Wreck Site website )〕 She was also luxuriously furnished in eighteenth-century French style, and her accommodation included 6 guest staterooms.〔H. Coy Glidden, ed., ''Sail and Sweep'' (1904), vol. 3, pp. 397-98, online version (here )〕
In 1914, ''Warrior'' ran aground near the mouth of the Magdalena River in Colombia: her passengers, including Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, and Lord Falconer, were rescued and ''Warrior'' was eventually refloated.〔Harvard College Class of 1894, Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Report, 1894-1919, p. 15, online version ( here )〕 She was purchased in 1916 from the estate of Alfred G. Vanderbilt (after he briefly owned her under the name ''Wayfarer'') by Alexander Smith Cochran, who reverted to the name ''Warrior''.〔''The Rudder'', vol. 32, p. 244, online version ( here )〕
''Warrior'' was requisitioned by the Royal Navy in 1917 and served as Admiral Sir W.L. Grant's flagship during a visit to Washington, DC in 1918, during which HMS ''Warrior'' took part in a Memorial Day ceremony honouring those who died at sea during the First World War, including the victims of RMS ''Lusitania''.〔''Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine'', vol. 52, pp. 486-87 (1918).
