History
HMS Mohawk was purchased by Horatio Nelson Lay, Inspector General of the Qing Dynasty Chinese Maritime Customs Service, on 20 September 1862, as part of an effort to bolster the Qing Dynasty naval force in response to the ongoing Taiping Rebellion.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Thereafter she was renamed Pei King (also as Pekin, Шаблон:Zh), and became part of the Lay-Osborn Flotilla commanded by Sherard Osborn.Шаблон:Sfn She was put under the command of Hugh Burgoyne.Шаблон:Sfn Upon her arrival in China, the Qing government ordered the ship to be renamed as Chin T'ai (Шаблон:Zh).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
Disagreements between the Qing government and Lay over the command of the Lay-Osborn Flotilla led to its disbandment in 1863, and Pekin returned to the United Kingdom. She was originally intended for sale, but an embargo on sales, due to the concurrent American Civil War and fear of the vessel joining the Confederate States Navy, prevented any sales.Шаблон:Sfn When the American Civil War ended in 1865, she, along with China and Tientsin, were sold in an auction to Egypt on 30 December 1865 for £20,500.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
