Alert-class Sloop Launched 28.12.94 Sheerness DY. 960 tons, 204(oa), 180(pp)x32x11ft. TE 1400ihp, 13.5kts. Armament: 8-4in, 4-3pdr. Served in Pacific, then harbour training service in New Zealand. To NZ Government 1917. Renamed FIREBRAND 8.17. Sold 7.20 in New Zealand. (British Warships 1914-1919) Class of two ships, Torch built by Sheerness Dockyard, launched 28 December 1894, completed October 1895, 960 tons, 180ft long, armed with 6-4in/4-3pdr/2-.45in Maxim guns, 13 knots, 106 crew. She sailed to join the Australian Station in February 1897. In 1898 and 1899, served in New Zealand waters. In 1901 she formed part of the naval escort during the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York to Australia and New Zealand. In 1910-1911, after many years of patrol work around the Pacific Islands, she was refitted in Sydney and it is probable there were some changes to her rigging and armament. By the time the First Australian Fleet Unit arrived in Sydney in 1913 she was paid off. Served in Pacific 1914-17. In 1917 she was handed over to the New Zealand government and renamed Firebrand in August 1917 to release name for a new destroyer (Torch (2)). Sold locally July 1920 and fitted out with refrigeration for the Chatham Island fishing trade and renamed Rama. On 17 November 1924 she was holed by an uncharted rock approaching the harbour of the Chatham Islands, beached and abandoned.

Notes: 1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated. 2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank. Editor’s note: Report on the Condition of HMS Torch in 1911 There is a section of Parliamentary minutes, recording the discussion between Major Archer-Shee and the First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr Winston Churchill regarding HMS Torch and her preparations for service.

THE VOYAGES OF HMS Torch (1) 1914 
(Maps prepared using Journey Plotter, developed by Maikel. The Plots can only be approximate. They are made by joining-up positions on successive days, and sometimes positions are not given. There will therefore be occasions when the ship appears to have travelled overland) Ship's Specifications These are the initial pages of the year-long original log of the last voyage of HMS Torch for the Royal Navy. They never appear in the log copies sent back to the Admiralty monthly, and fully describe the ship, its boats, armaments and crew. 4caf8bbecadfd34197032c76: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-63330/ADM 53-63330-001_0.jpg) 4caf8bbecadfd34197032c77: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-63330/ADM 53-63330-001_1.jpg) (cover) SHIP'S LOG H.M.Ship "Torch"; Commencing 23rd April 1914, Ending 23rd November 1914 4caf8bbecadfd34197032c7d: (http://oldweather.s3.amazonaws.com/ADM 53-63330/ADM 53-63330-004_1.jpg) LOG of H.M.S.
