HMS Undaunted was a wooden screw frigate, the fifth ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy.

She was the last of the Bristol-class, (which included Bristol, Glasgow' and Newcastle, as well as Undaunted; other ships ordered to the same design were cancelled).

She was ship rigged throughout,[2] It is thought that the installation of a wrought iron mast in HMS Undaunted may have been experimental.

[3] After launching, she went to Sheerness Dockyards for completion, and was then put straight into Reserve[2] She was commissioned under Captain Hugh Campbell, sailing for the East Indies[4] as the Flagship of Rear Admiral Reginald Macdonald.

It is 100 ft tall and weighs 20 tonnes, it was then refurbished and erected in 1903, and the bell was rung to signal each change of shift for the dockyard employees until its closure in 1984.
