RFA Lady Cory-Wright
RFA ''Lady Cory-Wright'' was a cargo ship that had been built as a civilian collier in 1906, became a Royal Fleet Auxiliary mine carrier in 1914 and was torpedoed and sunk with significant loss of life in 1918.
==History==
S.P. Austin & Son Ltd. of Sunderland built her in 1906 for William Cory and Son.〔〔 She was named ''Lady Cory-Wright'' after either Lady Mima, wife of Sir Cory Cory-Wright, 1st Baronet or Lady Elizabeth, wife of Sir Arthur Cory-Wright, 2nd Baronet.
In August 1914 the War Department requisitioned ''Lady Cory-Wright'' for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, who used her as a mine carrier.〔 On 26 March 1918 she was in the English Channel steaming from Plymouth to Malta laden with a cargo that included 2,762 mines, 370 depth charges, 2,100 torpedo detonators and 1,000 primers B.E.〔 when the torpedoed her about 14 miles off The Lizard.〔〔 ''Lady Cory-Wright''s Master and all but one of her crew were killed.〔
After ''Lady Cory-Wright'' sank many of her mines were left floating in the area, and her one survivor reportedly was found clinging to a floating mine. In 2009 her wreck still contained many unexploded mines and detonators.〔
