HMS Recruit (1846)

HMS Recruit (1846)

HMS "Recruit" was a 12-gun iron sailing brig of the Royal Navy, constructed by the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company and launched in 1846.

"Recruit" was the first iron vessel to be built for the Admiralty, and the Royal Navy's only iron sailing ship. She was sold back to her builders, Ditchburn and Mare on 28 August 1849, and was resold in 1852 to the General Screw Steam Shipping Company and converted into a screw steamer for the East Indian and Cape mail service, and renamed SS "Harbinger".
