HMS Terror (1759)

HMS Terror was an 8-gun bomb ketch launched in 1759 for the British Royal Navy that it sold in 1774.

Commander William Bennet commissioned Terror in January 1759 and sailed for the Mediterranean on 14 April.

In April 1861 Commander St John Chinnery replaced Kearny, with Terror still serving in the Mediterranean.

On 2 August 1776 Union, Hudson, master, arrived at Gravesend from Greenland with four fish and 50 seals.

Union and Prudence were serving as ordnance store ships when a storm drove them from Calicut roads.
