The Lundy, built in 1908 in Beverley, England, was originally a trawler owned by the Hull Steam Fishing & Ice Company before the war.
This 188-ton huge ship with a Smith brand engine was previously used in unmilitary works, and with the outbreak of the Dardanelles Campaign, it was assigned to operate as a minesweeper under the command of Henry Charles Taylor.
On August 16, 1915, during an ammunition load, Lundy collided with Kalyan, a vessel trying to escape from Turkish gunfires and sunk at the depths of Suvla. Lundy remains intact with the exception of the damage at her stern.
