HMS Glasgow (1861)
HMS ''Glasgow'' was a wooden screw frigate, the fifth ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy.
''Glasgow'' was launched at Portsmouth Dockyard on 28 March 1861.〔(Entry at William Loney RN - Ships )〕 Despite ironclad ships being introduced in 1858 and effectively rendering wooden hulls obsolete the ''Glasgow'' was built of wood to use up some of the extensive stocks of ship building timber then stored in Britain.〔(Entry at Global Security )〕 Indeed the ''Glasgow'' would be one of the last Royal Navy Vessels to be made entirely from wood.〔(Image at Science and Society gallery )〕 Her one and only foreign deployment was as flagship to the East Indies from 1871-5.〔 From 24 May 1871 until her decommissioning she was commanded by Captain Theodore Morton Jones.〔 During this time she was the flagship of Rear-Admiral James Cockburn and then of Arthur Cumming, following Cockburn's death.〔 ''Glasgow'' was paid off on 20 July 1875 and sold for breaking up in December 1884.〔 The ''Glasgow'' was used by Sultan Bargash of Zanzibar as the model for his royal yacht HHS ''Glasgow'', Bargash having been impressed by the ship when it visited Zanzibar in 1873.〔.〕
