Lot Essay

H.M.S. Warspite was a third rate of 76 guns built at Chatham and launched in 1807. After an active career, including service in the Anglo-American 'War of 1812' when she took three U.S. privateers, she was cut down to a 50-gun frigate in 1840 and remained at sea until 1862 when she was loaned to the Marine Society as a boys' training ship. Accidentally burned by fire at Woolwich in 1876, her wreck was subsequently broken up on the Thames.
