Military History
At Jutland on May 31st 1916, Warrior was heavily damaged by German shells, which caused large fires and heavy flooding, although her engines continued running for long enough to allow her to withdraw to the west. She was taken in tow at 9pm by the seaplane tender HMS Engadine. In heavy seas, the Warrior began taking on huge quantities of water which threatened to inundate her and also drag down the towing vessel. Engadine took off Warrior’s surviving crew of 743 (Stevenson was one of 67 Warrior crewmen to die in the action). She was abandoned at 08:25 a.m. on 1 June, when her upper deck was only four feet above the water. She later sank.
