Bracklyn was a British steam fishing trawler. Completed in 1914, it was almost immediately requisitioned as a minesweeper by the Royal Navy to take part in the First World War. It ran aground at Great Yarmouth in 1916, but was towed off and re-floated by a tug. In May 1917, the ship was mined by a U-boat and sank, killing the crew.

Construction and design

Bracklyn (Official Number 13688), a steel fishing trawler, was constructed in Aberdeen by J. Duthie Torry Shipbuilding Co. for The Brooklyn Fishing Company Ltd., Fleetwood.[1][2] The trawler measured Шаблон:GRT and Шаблон:NRT and featured a length of Шаблон:Convert, a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a height of Шаблон:Convert.[1] Bracklyn was launched on 22 April 1914 and was completed a month later in May, being registered by her owners in Fleetwood on 28 May 1914.[1]

History

First World War service

In December 1914, seven months after her registration, Bracklyn was requisitioned by the Royal Navy for service in the First World War, becoming a minesweeper.[1] On 28 March 1916, the warship and four other civilian ships ran aground on Corton Beach, Great Yarmouth during a period of bad weather.[1] When the weather cleared, Bracklyn was towed off the beach by the tug Lowestoft, assisted by the lifeboat Kentwell.[1] The following year, on 11 May 1917, Bracklyn sank at Шаблон:Coord after striking a mine laid by Шаблон:SMU three days earlier.[1][3][4] The entire crew of ten were killed in action.[1]
