HMS Wild Swan was an Osprey-class sloop built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1870s.
[2][1] An R & W Hawthorn two-cylinder horizontal returning-rod steam engine fed by three cylindrical boilers provided 797 indicated horsepower (594 kW) to the single 13 ft (4.0 m) propeller screw.
[1] Wild Swan was built by Robert Napier and Sons, of Govan, Scotland.
[1] Wild Swan patrolled off the coast of Mozambique in 1880, operating against the slave trade.
She was withdrawn from the list and re-fitted in late 1901 as a training ship in Kingstown Harbour for men of the Royal Navy Reserve and coastguards of the North of Ireland stations.
