Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship careerШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsHMS Galatea was a Шаблон:Sclass[1] 26-gun, sixth-rate, wooden screw frigate in the Royal Navy, launched in 1859 and broken up 1883.
Service
She was first assigned to the Channel Squadron in 1862 under Captain Rochfort Maguire. From there she served both in the Baltic and the Mediterranean.[2] Then from 1863 to 1865 to the North America and West Indies Station based in Bermuda and Halifax.
On 9 November 1865 the Galatea and HMS Lily participated in a reprisal raid on Cap-Haïtien, bombarding the forts defending the harbour and landing government troops. The raid was provoked by rebel forces having attacked the British Consulate on 23 October 1865 and the loss of Шаблон:HMS that same day in the fighting that followed.
In 1866, after a refit, she went on a world cruise, under the command of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.
On 2 November 1868, she ran aground in Plymouth Sound and was damaged. It was estimated that it would take several days to repair her.[3] While in Sydney, Galatea was placed in the Fitzroy Dock at Cockatoo Island Dockyard in 1870.[4]
On 18 May 1882 she conveyed the Duke of Edinburgh to the official opening of the new Eddystone Light.
Paintings
While in Halifax, Galatea inspired a trio of dramatic paintings by ship portrait artist John O'Brien.[5] In 1866, after a refit, she went on a world cruise, under the command of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.
