Ramsgate and St Lawrence Cemetery 

26th May 1917 - torpedo boat accidental explosion in Ramsgate Harbour.

This took place at about 8.15am. Nearly all of the windows of Nelson Crescent, Sion Hill and York Terrace were smashed. The shock wave brought down Tramway wires. Part of the boat came down in Albert Street with another part in Queen Street. Smaller pieces hit roofs in Alpha Road and others came down in Clarendon Gardens. The torpedo boat was wrecked and nearly submerged, with 14 of the crew missing. It was caused by the explosion of a torpedo being accidentally fired, whilst the torpedo tube was in the fore to fat position.

Thirteen men listed below are buried in Ramsgate Cemetery. 

One man, Leading Seaman Frederick James WELFORD, J8110, age 23 is buried at Great Yarmouth (Gorleston)  Cemetery, J. 24. 632., Norfolk, Son of James and Julia Welford, of 15, Grape Passage, Reading; husband of Jessie G. Welford, of 16, Albemarle Road, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. His wife was living at 11 Denmark Road, Ramsgate at the time of the accident.
