Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. HMS Boadicea was a frigate of the Royal Navy. Boadicea was one of a batch of large frigates ordered in 1795, all of which were of largest of their type, and the majority of which were to the draught of captured French ships, the Navy then being under the sway of Middleton and the French school of thought, a school supposing that the design of warships in France was of a higher quality. She was built to the draught of Imperieuse, a 40-gun ship completed in 1787 and captured in October 1793. Changes were made to the shape of the topsides, and the scantlings and fastenings were strengthened to reflect British practice. She retained her shallow French hull form, and as a result the holds and magazines were considered cramped. Boadicea was commissioned under Captain Richard Keats for service in the Channel Fleet. Under Keats she served on this station for several years during which time she captured at least two prizes.
