Service history

Based at Portsmouth, as well as a fleet tug, Seahorse served in a variety of roles, including survey ship,[4] and was often described as a gunboat or "special service vessel".[5][6] During the Anglo-Egyptian War of 1882 Seahorse was additionally equipped with gatling guns and stationed at Port Said for towing and patrol duties in the Suez Canal.[7][8] Amongst her salvage jobs was the battleship HMS Howe, which stranded on a shoal off Ferrol, Spain in November 1892 and could be refloated only five months later.[9] During the First World War she continued to be based at Portsmouth where she was used as a fleet tug, and later a rescue tug.[3]

Commercial service

On 1 May 1920 Seahorse was disposed of by the Admiralty to Crichton Thompson & Co Ltd, and resold to Arsenio Sanjurjo Igual of Santander, Spain, where she was renamed Chita. She changed hands twice at Santander, first to Luis Liaño in 1925 and then to Nicolas Pardo y Pardo in 1928. She was finally broken up at Santander in 1933.[10][11]
