HMS Boscawen (1844)

HMS Boscawen (1844)

HMS "Boscawan" was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 3 April 1844 at Woolwich Dockyard. She was originally ordered and begun as a 74-gun ship, but an Admiralty order dated 3 March 1834 required that she be reworked to Sir William Symonds' design. She was named for Admiral Edward Boscawen.

In 1874, "Boscawen" was converted into the Wellesley Training Ship. She was broken up in 1914.

HMS "Boscawen" was also the name of the Naval Police Patrol HQ at Portland during the Second World War.
