HMS RESEARCH
Posted by: Cape Crusader ()

Hi all,

I have an old photograph captioned "HMS Research in Laxford Bay".

The only vessel of that name I have been able to identify (via wikipedia = [en.wikipedia.org])) is that launched in August 1863 and broken up during 1884.

I suppose the original of the photograph just could have been taken as far back as the second half of the 19th century, but the actual photo reproduction was issued during the first decade of the 20th.

It shows a twin-masted and twin-funnelled vessel with a vertical bow, but no real evidence of armaments.

Could the photograph depict the 1863 HMS RESEARCH? Or was a later vessel given the same name after 1884?

I could e-mail the photograph to anyone who may feel able to help.

Thanks in advance and in anticipation.
