HMS Crescent (1892)

HMS "Crescent" was a first class cruiser of the "Edgar" class. "Crescent", and her sister ship "Royal Arthur", were built to a slightly modified design and are sometimes considered a separate class. She was built at Portsmouth and launched on March 30 1892. She served in the First World War, and was sold on September 22 1921 for breaking up in Germany.
