Construction & Service

As the boat ran in Plymouth Sound to train stokers on 4 May 1893, two men were badly scalded when a securing bolt broke and permitted the outflow of steam despite only ordinary running being undertaken at the time.[4]

In 1895, she was one of thirteen torpedo boats of 125 feet or greater length and four smaller ones stationed in Devonport.[5]

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. 053.[6]
