HMS Boscawen

HMS Boscawen

Two ships and a shore establishment of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS "Boscawen", after Admiral Edward Boscawen, whilst another ship was planned:

*HMS "Boscawen" was a 4-gun cutter purchased in 1763 and sold in 1773.
*HMS "Boscawen" was to have been an 80-gun second rate ship of the line. She was laid down in 1811 but subsequently cancelled.
*HMS "Boscawen" was a 70-gun third rate launched in 1844. She was converted into a training ship in 1874 and was renamed "Wellesley". She was damaged by fire in 1914 and was subsequently broken up.
*HMS "Boscawen" was a training establishment in a number of locations, in service from 1862 to 1922, and again from 1932 to 1947. A number of ships were renamed HMS "Boscawen" whilst serving as homes for the base:
**HMS "Trafalgar" was HMS "Boscawen" from 1873 to 1906.
**HMS "Minotaur" was HMS "Boscawen II" from 1893 to 1904, and HMS "Boscawen" from 1904 to 1905.
**HMS "Agincourt" was HMS "Boscawen III" from 1905 to 1906.
