Capt j H F G Talbot, this morning while it was supporting the army on the Gallipoli peninsula. "Nearly all of the officers and men were saved." The battleship Majestic was a vessel of 14,900 tons and of 10,000 horse power. Her officers and crew on a peace footing aggregated 7-57. 11 The Majestic, which was built in j 1895, carried four 12-inch, 12 6-inch and 16 3-Inch guns and 12 3-pounder j guns.
