HMS Egeria (1807)

The first HMS "Egeria" was a 26-gun ship sloop launched at Bridport in 1807. She was of 424 tons and carried a crew of 135 men. Her length, beam, and draught were 108ft., 30ft., and 11ft. On 21 December 1808, "Egeria", commanded by Commander Lewis Hole, captured the French 10-gun vessel "Noesois", and on 2 March 1809, she captured the Danish 6-gun vessel "Aalborg".

"Egeria" became a receiving ship at Devonport from 1825 until 1860. She then became a police ship and acted as such until 1864, when she was broken up.
