HMS Magicienne was the lead ship of her class of two 16-gun, steam-powered second-class paddle frigates built for the Royal Navy in the 1850s. Commissioned in 1853 she played a small role in the Crimean War of 1854–1855 and was sold for scrap in 1866.

Design and construction

The Magicienne-class ships had a length at the gun deck of Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert at the keel. They had a beam of Шаблон:Convert, and a depth of hold of Шаблон:Convert. MagicienneШаблон:'s tonnage was 1,258Шаблон:Fraction tons burthen and she had a draught of Шаблон:Convert. Their crew numbered 175 officers and ratings.[1]

The ships were fitted with a pair of 2-cylinder oscillating steam engines, rated at 400 nominal horsepower, that drove their paddlewheels. The engines produced Шаблон:Convert in service that gave them speeds of Шаблон:Convert. The ships were armed with eight 32-pounder (56 cwt)[Note 1] cannon on the gundeck. On the upper deck were one each 68-pounder (95 cwt) and a Шаблон:Convert (85 cwt) shell guns as well as four more 32-pounders.[2]

Magicienne and her sister ship Шаблон:HMS were originally ordered on 25 April 1847 as first-class sloops to John Edye's design, approved on 12 August 1847. On 5 August they were re-ordered as Шаблон:Convert vessels. When completed, they constituted the last group of paddle warships built for the Royal Navy.[1]
