An interactive map recording the individuals involved in the biggest naval battle of the First World War has been created to mark its 100th anniversary.
The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) has launched the website to enable people to share and discover the stories of those connected to the Battle of Jutland.
Fought over 36 hours from May 31 to June 1 1916, Jutland is often considered a German victory because the British lost 6,094 seamen compared with the 2,551 Germans who died during the battle.
However, the British fleet maintained numerical supremacy at the end of the battle as only two of its dreadnoughts were damaged, leaving 23 dreadnoughts and four battlecruisers still able to fight, whilst the Germans had only 10 dreadnoughts.
A spokeswoman for the museum in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Hampshire, which will be running an exhibition from May 12 to mark the battle's centenary, said: "The interactive map will provide an innovative way of charting the impact of the Battle of Jutland.
"It will convey the human story of the battle, highlighting its scale and significance to the First World War, by demonstrating the involvement of people from all over the British Isles and further afield.
"The project launched with over 6,000 entries from across Britain, already showing the national impact of the Battle of Jutland. To provide a comprehensive record, the museum is calling on members of the public to share more information."
Nick Jellicoe, grandson of Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, commander of the British Grand Fleet, said: "This is one of those moments where engaging with the interactive map and what the museum is providing is a real opportunity to fill in some parts of a jigsaw, a family jigsaw you've never been able to solve.
"It's nice to think about stories from your father, grandfather or great-grandfather, and be able to pass them on. Always one of my biggest regrets is that I never talked to my father more in detail about his father. I never did, and I hope other people don't make the same mistake."
Nicholas Beatty, grandson of Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, said: "I am delighted to add my grandfather's story to the Jutland interactive map, and am sure that the legacy of his and his brave fellow seamen will continue to live on and be better understood by current and future generations.
"I thoroughly recommend that all descendants whose relatives fought at Jutland do the same to ensure that those who fought to maintain our naval supremacy and retain the lines of supply to the United Kingdom, all giving so much, are never forgotten."
