H.M.S. Gannet (1878)
Builder: Sheerness Royal Dockyard[1]
Launched: 31 Aug, 1878[2]
Preserved:
H.M.S. Gannet was one of nine Doterel Class composite screw sloops completed for the Royal Navy.

Service

Commissioned at Sheerness on 3 September, 1885.[3]

Re-commissioned at Malta on 10 November, 1888.[4]

The vessel was restored in 1987 to her 1888 appearance. She resides at Chatham Historic Dockyard.

Captains

Editor's note: the ship was renamed President in 1903. Our data below clearly shows men appointed in command of later ships, such as H.M.S. Gannet (1927), a river gunboat, which was commissioned at Hong Kong on 6 March, 1928.[5]
