Please forgive me if this thread is better served in another part of the forums as this is my first post. I am looking to obtain a schematic / drawing of the possible minefields off the Yorkshire coastline in 1914.
My interest stems from the loss of the hospital vessel HMHS Rohilla in October 1914. Although the ship was actually lost during a gale and terrible sea conditions, the Captain believed he had hit a mine, though he was ultimately much closer inshore than he thought.
I would be interested though in identifying the proliferation of minefields with your help.
Thank you
Colin Brittain
