The boat was blown to pieces by the force of the blast.
Mountbatten, then aged 79, was fatally wounded.
He was pulled alive from the water by nearby fishermen, but died from his injuries before being brought to the shore.
Others killed by the blast were Nicholas Knatchbull, his elder daughter's 14-year-old son, and Paul Maxwell, a 15-year-old youth from County Fermanagh who was a crew member.
The Dowager Lady Brabourne, his elder daughter's 83-year-old mother-in-law, was seriously injured in the explosion and died from her injuries the following day.
