| Ma 12 April 1841 | (From the Hampshire Telegraph of Saturday.) The St. Vincent, Madagascar, and Fair Rosamond, were put out of the basin on Monday, and the Vindictive and Warspite on Tuesday, in order that the basin might be run dry, to repair the works of the wood-mills.The Mercury sailed to-day for Sheerness, with a lieutenant of the Indus on board, to volunteer men from the Asia for that ship. The Emerald sailed yesterday for Devonport, with seamen gunners for the Cornwallis. The keel of a second class steamer, to be called the Thunderbolt, was laid down in this dockyard on Wednesday last. | ||
| Ma 18 October 1847 | PORTSMOUTH, Oct 17. The officers and crew of the Comet have at last returned to that vessel from the Fire Queen, and the latter has been laid up alongside the Britannia, 120, in charge of her engineers and stokers for the present. Rumour states that there is to be a complete change in regard to the tenders, which are in future to be steamers instead of sailing vessels, Undine and Fire Queen superseding Fanny, Emerald, and Mercury, at this port. | ||
