The two Fervent Class Torpedo Boat Destroyers were built by Hanna Donald and Wilson, Paisley Scotland. in 1895. These boats originally had only one funnel but it soon came apparent that they would not reach the intended speed of 27 knots. so they were reboilered with the water-tube boilers which were being installed in all new torpedo boats. and this increased the funnels required to four. HMS Fervent even with the re boiler was accepted with a lower speed (26.7 knots on trials) With all the changes these two boats took longer to build.   Displacement: 275 tons, Speed 26 to 27 knots  Armament: One 12pounder gun and two torpedo tubes.  Compliment: 53

Please find attached a postcard that was sent from my great grandfather Charles Burnes while he was serving as a Torpedoman on board HMS Fervent. I believe this to be dated approx 1905 as I have several other around this date.  Alan Bacon
