HMS Wellington was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 21 September 1816 at Deptford Dockyard.[1]

The ship had originally been named HMS Hero, but was renamed Wellington on 4 December 1816. She became a training ship in 1862, and Wellington was eventually sold out of the Navy in 1908.[1]

In 1826, HMS Wellington introduced mosquitos to the Hawaiian islands. These mosquitoes were introduced to a stream on Maui when sailors seeking fresh water rinsed out their water barrels in the stream. Prior to this, no mosquitoes lived in Hawaii.[2]
