HMS Hibernia (1804)

HMS Hibernia (1804)

HMS "Hibernia" was a 110-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She was launched at Plymouth dockyard on 17 November 1804, and was the only ship built to her draught, designed by Sir John Henslow.

She was flagship of the British Mediterranean Fleet from 1816 until 1855, when she became the flagship for the Royal Navy's base at Malta and stationed in Grand Harbour. She remained in this role until she was sold in 1902.

Her figurehead is in the Maritime Museum, Vittoriosa, Malta.
