Talk:HMS Emerald

Dates?
this site http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowShip.php?id=69 identifies an HMS Emerald of 1856 or so.GraemeLeggett 15:46, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Ought to add that the dates fit in with the name being in constant use, as one ship is removed another takes the name.GraemeLeggett 15:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

What about 1861
I discovered an ancestor of mine on the HMS Emerald on the 1861 English census (RG9 4493) when it was docked in Hamoaze, Devonport, verified by the log here. Yet, this article indicates a gap between the 4th and 5th Emerald, 1847 to 1876. Is anyone able to explain this or have I discovered a missing ship? MortimerCat 17:15, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Missing ship?
In answer to both of the above, Colledge lists a wood screw frigate launched in 1856 and sold in 1869. Not a missing ship as such, but one that has unaccountably failed to appear in the list page thus far. I'll add it now. Benea (talk) 05:37, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
