Launched in 1656, the second-rate warship HMS London famously escorted Charles II back from exile. On 7 March 1665, while anchored in the Thames Estuary, a sailor’s candle accidentally ignited her gunpowder supply. The resulting catastrophic explosion blew the vessel apart, killing over 300 crewmen instantly.
Stand on the end of Southend Pier looking southward out into the estuary.
