HMS Forth (1833)
HMS Forth was a 44-gun Seringapatam-class fifth-rate frigate built for the Royal Navy during the 1820s, one of three ships of the Andromeda sub-class. After completion in 1833, she was ordered to be converted into a steam-powered ship in 1845, but this did not happen for another decade.
