"This picture shows the dummy HMS Tiger, who was one of two merchantmen that had been disguised as battle cruisers. The idea behind this scheme was to fool the Germans into thinking that a far greater part of the Navy was being sent to the Dardanelles. The plan worked so admirably well, that the Tiger was spotted by the U21, who had already sunk the Majestic and Triumph. After the inevitable torpedo had struck home, and the ship was sinking fast, the German commander could not believe his eyes when he saw the complete superstructure, the turrets and the guns of the Tiger calmly float away on the water."
