H.M.S. Severn was one of four second class protected cruisers of the Mersey class completed between 1887 and 1889.

Service

Severn was grounded when trying to come into Harwich on 13 December, 1901. Their Lordships "[could not] consider that in skirting the shore so close, due care was exercised in the navigation of the ship & further that ... the C.O. should not have risked going into Harwich on a falling tide."[5]
