View of Greenwich in 1877 Showing the Training Ship HMS Warspite

description

Summary

'Warspite' (a former two-decker reduced to a frigate) was a training ship for the Marine Society from 1862 but, until lost to a fire in 1876, was moored off Woolwich not Greenwich: so was its successor of the same name. It is more likely that the vessel shown is the Leda-class 46-gun frigate 'Fisgard' which from 1848 was the Commodore's guardship at Woolwich but also used to train engineers up to 1862, a function taken over the the Royal Naval College at Greenwich from its inception in 1873[1].
