HMS Investigator (1798)

HMS Investigator (1798)

HMS "Investigator" was a survey ship of the Royal Navy, used by Matthew Flinders for his 1802 circumnavigation around Australia.

The "Investigator" was initially launched as the collier "Fram" in 1796. She sailed off the north coast of England before being purchased by the navy in 1798 and initially entered service as HMS "Xenophon". She was renamed HMS "Investigator" in 1801, when she was refitted as a survey ship. She was broken up in November 1810.
