On March 17, 1800 the 1st Rate ship HMS Queen Charlotte caught fire in the Ligurian Sea off Livorno (Leghorn), Italy. The fire started around 6 a.m. and by 11 had reached the powder magazine. The ship exploded and sank so quickly only a few managed to get off the ship, almost the entire crew of 700 were killed. |
