Royal Navy Sloops. History of the Royal Naval Sloops from the early Fantome, Osprey and Doterel classes of the 19th Century to the Bittern and Black Swan Classes of the Second World War. Royal Navy Sloops came back into existence soon after the outbreak of world war one, when the Admiralty realised it required extra ships for general service which could be used for mine sweeping, escort duties. The Sloops were used exclusively for Mine sweeping until 1917 when they were re assigned for Convoy duties as well. |

And in the following year this same Lieutenant C.N. Robinson, who subsequently made a great and lasting mark on the naval literature of his time, landed and placed in position the guns, ect., for Captain Cook?s monument at Kealakakua Bay, Hawaii.

The second ?EGERIA? was a 4-gun screw sloop launched at Pembroke in 1873. She was of 940 tons, 1011 horse-power, and 11 knots speed. Her length, beam, and draught were 160ft., 31ft., and 14ft. In 1875 the ?Egeria,? commanded by Commander Ralph Lancelot Turton, proceeded to Perak, as one of a squadron of six ships under Captain Alexander Buller with his senior officer?s pennant in ?Modeste,? to take part in an expedition against the murderers of Mr. J. W. Birch, the British resident in Perak. While the troops and a naval brigade advanced on the upper reaches of the Perak River simultaneously from two points, the ?Egeria? blockaded the Perak Littoral, and sent her boats up the Kurow River. These boats destroyed or carried off some guns, arms, and ammunition which might have been useful to the enemy. Severe punishment was inflicted on the natives, but the actual murderers were not brought to account for some time afterwards. This vessel acted for many years in the Surveying Service, and in November 1911 she was put up to public auction at Esquimalt, and sold to the Vancouver branch of the Navy League for ?1416. |
