HMS Mersey (1814)

HMS Mersey (1814)

The first HMS "Mersey" was a 'Conway' Class 26-gun Sixth-rate, launched in 1814. It was too late to see action in the Napoleonic War, though it nevertheless had a long and distinguished career that took it to Halifax Station in 1818, then joining the South American station in 1824 till its departure in 1827, when it was then deployed to the Caribbean station from that year until 1831. It was eventually broken up in 1852.
