Does anyone know which decommissioned and gutted Great War Warship provided the hull for that coal Hulk?

The ram-bow shows the ship was a pre-Great War warship design.

My dad used to say it was HMS Thunderer - but she was scrapped up in Blyth in the mid 1920's. The ship in the background was HMS Maidstone, 497 ft long, - and the coaling hulk is obviously shorter than that so maybe it wasn't a battleship hull at all but a decomissioned Gt. War Cruiser?
