The ''Hecla'' class was a class of bomb vessels of the Royal Navy of the early 19th century. They were designed for use as bomb or mortar ships and were very heavily built. Eight ships were launched; all were converted for use as exploration or survey ships. Four ships of the class are known for the role they played in Arctic and Antarctic exploration. ==Ships== * :Builder: Mrs Mary Ross, Rochester :Ordered: 5 June 1813 :Laid down: September 1813 :Launched: 4 April 1814 :Completed: :Notes: Converted to Arctic discovery vessel in 1821 :Fate: Bilged in Prince Regent Inlet, and abandoned in the Arctic on 25 August 1825 * :Builder: Barkworth & Hawkes, North Barton (Hull) :Ordered: 5 June 1813 :Laid down: July 1813 :Launched: 22 July 1815 :Completed: :Notes: Arctic discovery vessel from 1819 to 1827.
