HMS Hero was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 21 September 1816 at Deptford Dockyard. On 4 December 1816 Hero was renamed HMS Wellington. She became a training ship in 1862, and Wellington was eventually sold out of the Navy in 1908. As the HMS Wellington, the ship is infamous for being the source of the first mosquitoes in the Hawaiian Islands, in 1826. These mosquitoes were introduced to a stream on Maui when sailors seeking fresh water rinsed out their water barrels in the stream. Prior to this, no mosquitoes lived in Hawaii.
