H.M. T.B. 27 (1885)
Builder: Thornycroft[1]
Ordered: 30/31 March, 1885[2]
Launched: 26 October, 1885[3]
Sold: 2 October, 1919[4]
H.M. T.B. 27 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.

Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 027.[5]

Construction

Yard No. 219.[6] Like all Thornycroft 125-footers, she was built with a low "bull nose" bow that included a fixed torpedo tube that proved "totally unseaworthy" and was ultimately rebuilt with a conventional straight steam without a torpedo tube.[7]

Service

In 1895, she was one of twenty-three torpedo boats of at least 125 feet in length stationed in Portsmouth along with four smaller ones.[8] Serving as a tender to Racer at Osborne in early 1910.[9]

Sold to Maden & McKee on 2 October, 1919.[10]

Captains
