H.M. T.B. 42 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.
Service
Whiel exercising on the eastern end of the Isle of Wight on 15 July 1890, she ran upon Bembridge Ledge, sustaining damage serious enough to require her to be towed back into harbour.[6]
In 1895, she was one of twenty-three first-class torpedo boats of at least 125 feet in length stationed in Portsmouth along with four smaller ones.[7]
Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 042.[8]
In 1911 she collided with T.B. 86 whose commander was blamed for the accident through an error in judgement on his part.[9]
T.B. 042 was sold to Maden & McKee on 2 October, 1919.[10]

The conflict between Hamilton and Boyd-Richardson needs to be explored. It seems that Hamilton's orders for these manoeuvres may have changed.
