HMS Britannia and HMS Hindostan

This photograph was taken around 1882 and shows HMS Britannia (left) and HMS Hindostan at anchor in the River Dart at Dartmouth. These ships were Royal Naval training ships. HMS Britannia was launched in 1862 as HMS Prince of Wales and renamed to Britannia in 1869. She remained on the River Dart at Dartmouth until 1909 and was eventually scrapped in 1916. Since then, HMS Britannia has been a shore-bound training institute.

Henry Pearce was serving on board in the 1881 census as an Able Seaman.
