HMS Prince of Wales (1860)

HMS Prince of Wales (1860)

HMS "Prince of Wales" was a 121-gun screw-propelled first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on January 25 1860. The advent of ironclads had made her obsolete before launch, so she was placed in reserve and never fitted for sea.

In 1869 she was renamed "Britannia" and began service as a cadet training ship at Dartmouth, replacing the previous Britannia in that role.

Future First Sea Lord John H. D. Cunningham served aboard her as midshipman.

She was hulked in September 1909, sold in September 1914, and broken up at Blyth in July 1916.
