HMS Royal Arthur (1891)

HMS Royal Arthur (1891)

HMS "Royal Arthur" was a first class cruiser of the "Edgar" class, previously named "Centaur", but renamed in 1890 prior to launching. "Royal Arthur", and her sister ship "Crescent", were built to a slightly modified design and are sometimes considered a separate class. She was built at Portsmouth and launched on February 26 1891. She served in the First World War, and was sold in August 1921 for breaking up in Germany.
