HMS Arethusa was a light cruiser of the Royal Navy.
On 28 August 1914, Arethusa participated in the Battle of Heligoland Bight, engaging German cruisers and sustaining considerable damage.
On 11 February 1916, Arethusa struck a German mine off Felixstowe. Attempts to tow her to safety failed, and she grounded on Cutler Shoal, breaking her back. https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/warships-of-the-british-royal-navy/hms-arethusa-1913-british-light-cruiser/ #cruiser #HMSArethusa #HMSArethusa #lightcruiser #maritimehistory #NavalHistory #RoyalNavy #warship
