HMS Pomone (1805)

HMS Pomone (1805)

HMS "Pomone" was a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy, built by Brindley at Frindsbury and launched in 1805. She was wrecked off The Needles, part of the Isle of Wight, in 1811.

The shipwreck site identified at The Needles contains the remains of two wrecks, thought to be HMS|Assurance|1747|6 and the stern part of the "Pomone". The wrecksite was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act on 4 April 1974. The majority of finds recovered from this double wrecksite are thought to be from the "Pomone".

It is possible that another wrecksite identified in Alum Bay could be the bow end of the "Pomone".

The wrecksite was identified by an Isle of Wight resident, Derek Williams, who became the first licensee.
