HMS Reindeer was a Royal Navy Mariner-class composite screw gunvessel of 8 guns.[2]
Construction[edit]
Designed by Nathaniel Barnaby,[1] the Royal Navy Director of Naval Construction, her hull was of composite construction; that is, iron keel, frames, stem and stern posts with wooden planking. She was fitted with a 2-cylinder horizontal compound expansion steam engine driving a single screw, produced by Hawthorn Leslie. She was rigged with three masts, with square rig on the fore- and main-masts, making her a barque-rigged vessel. Her keel was laid at Devonport Royal Dockyard on 15 January 1883 and she was launched on 14 November 1883. Her entire class were re-classified in November 1884 as sloops before they entered service.
Career[edit]
She was converted to a boom defence vessel in 1904. During World War I, she collided with the Royal Navy stores carrier HMS Immingham in the Mediterranean Sea on 6 June 1915, sinking Immingham.[3] She was lent to the Liverpool Salvage Association as a salvage vessel in 1917. Re-engined in 1918 by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company with a 2,100 horsepower (1,566 kW) engine,[4] she was renamed Reindeer I and sold to the Halifax Shipyard Ltd as a salvage ship on 12 July 1924.[1] She was abandoned at sea on 12 March 1932. Her 30 crew were rescued by the ocean liner Montcalm.[5][6]
