World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII

HMS Caledonia



HMS Caledonia is a shore training base at Rosyth, Fife, Scotland it was established in 1939.

The ship HMS Caledonia (ex White Star liner, Majestic) was moored at Port Edgar, Rosyth as a training ship. In September 1939, in order to free the berth for use by other Royal Navy ships she was moved to another mooring and the cadets were reaccomodated on land. On the evening of 29th September 1939 the ship was set alight by an air raid, she was gutted and sank in the Firth of Forth. The hull was raised in 1943 and broken up for scrap.

Today the base is still used for training.
