HMS Seaflower (1873)

HMS Seaflower was a screw propulsion training brig launched at Pembroke Dockyard in 1873.[1]

The vessel was stationed at Portland from 1879 as a tender to the training ship HMS Boscawen (1844). From 1904, it was used as a workshop before being sold to Castles for breaking up in 1908.

Figurehead

The figurehead was saved when the ship was broken up and is now part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy's collection at Portsmouth.[2]
