Found your article interesting.My father served on the Foyle a River class destroyer.I have a “Shiffs-Messbrief” which I think is the specification of German Schooner which whilst laying mines was engaged & sunk by the Foyle off the Isle of Sky on 4th Jan 1915.If anyone can throw any light on this subject I would be interested but please send any emails to my personal address although I have no objection to it being opied to this website.Many thanks.Terry Hillis

Very interesting information but there was no mention of who the HMS Foyle was named after, any comments?

Wie heeft er foto’s voor mij van de H.M.S.Foyle?
Zelf ben ik in het bezit van de scheepsbel en zou graag wat foto’s van dit schip willen hebben.

Ref: Public Records Office ADM 137/389. FOYLE was patrolling in the Western Channel when damaged, hence her tow to Plymouth. If she had been in the Dover Straits (note spelling) she would not have been towed all the way to Plymouth. She sank in 50 metres of water (in English, meters measure Amps, Volts etc.)
Otherwise an interesting site. Keep up the good work!
