Project Description

Re-creating the crew lists of the 151 Royal Navy ships at the Battle of Jutland. A small group of volunteers, some formerly associated with the 'Lives of the First World War (LOTFWW)' project, are endeavouring to re-create the crew lists of all of those at the Battle of Jutland on the 151 Royal Navy ships. A sailor is only confirmed to have been at the battle when his service records or other sources are checked and it is identified that he was on a 'Jutland Ship' over the period 31st May to 1st June 1916. The Battle of Jutland was a naval encounter between the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer on 31st May to 1st June 1916.
