HMS Swindon

HMS Swindon

HMS "Swindon" was a Hunt class minesweeper of the Royal Navy from World War I.

She was renamed from HMS "Bantry" in 1918 to avoid any conflict between the vessel name and a coastal location.

In 1921 she was sold off and converted to a coastal passenger/freight steamer SS "Lady Cecilia" by the Coaster Construction Co of Montrose, Scotland for the Union Steamship Co of British Columbia. She was laid up and sold to Coast Ferries in 1951, then scrapped at Gambier Island, BC in 1952.
