HMS Fawn  The first “FAWN” was the French 16-gun vessel “FAUNNE.”  She was taken in August 15th, 1805, to the westward of Rochefort by the “Goliath” and “Camilla.” 

HMS Fawn  The second “FAWN” was a 26-gun ship sloop, launched at Topsham in 1807.  She was of 424 tons, and carried a crew of 121 men.  Her length, beam, and draught were 108 ft., 30 ft., and 11 ft.           On May 28th, 1808, the “Fawn”, commanded by Commander the Hon. George A Crofton, sent her boats under two batteries at the north-east end of Puerto Rico, and they captured a Spanish privateer schooner and three merchant vessels.  The schooner subsequently blew up and the “Fawn’s” carpenter was killed and several badly burned.  On July 17th, 1808

HMS Martin in 1902. She was a wooden sailing brig launched at Pembroke in 1890 and used as a tender to the training ship St Vincent. She measured 105 ft long with a displacement of 508 tons and a crew complement of 27. The little training brig HMS Martin passing out of Spithead under sail in 1897. At this time there were seven such training brigs attached to the various training ships. Martin was originally launched as Mayflower.

The images below were supplied with the following email message :  I recently acquired some pewter items, 3 of which are bowls marked "HMS AJAX".  They were with some WWII items, and I assumed that they were connected with that war.  However, one has a scratched on date of 1806.  I have learned that the British Navy has had several ships named Ajax over the years, and at this point I am not sure which ship these bowls are related to.  Each of the bowls is marked HMS AJAX.  One is marked "MESS 1", one is marked "MESS 2", the 3rd is marked "LB".  All 3 have the crown X mark.  It is the bowl marked LB that has "Patrick 1806" scratched into the base.  They are each just under 5 3/8 inches across the top and some 2 3/8 inches tall. I would appreciate any information you can give me.  Lee Berkovits.  

We believe these bowls date from the HMS Ajax involved in the Battle of Trafalgar.  If you can shed any more light on these, email us at

HMS OXFORD, 1674

Looking for information on the HMS Oxford on which my ancestor was a seaman from 1706-1710.  The Oxford was out of Chatham, and sailed between there and Virginia. Admiralty records have it patrolling the James River in Virginia at one time. My ancestor was discharged from the British navy to his home in Norfolk, Virginia in 1710.  Would like to know the eventual outcome of this ship.    contact here
