HMS Undaunted was a wooden screw frigate, the fifth ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy. She was the last of the Bristol Class, (which included the Bristol, Glasgow' and Newcastle, as well as the Undaunted; other ships ordered to the same design were cancelled). She was built as a composite wooden hulled vessel, built with a telescopic funnel and hoisting screws. She was ship rigged throughout, It is thought that the installation of a wrought iron mast in HMS Undaunted may have been experimental.

  • HMS Undaunted was a wooden screw frigate, the fifth ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy. She was the last of the Bristol Class, (which included the Bristol, Glasgow' and Newcastle, as well as the Undaunted; other ships ordered to the same design were cancelled). She was built as a composite wooden hulled vessel, built with a telescopic funnel and hoisting screws. She was ship rigged throughout, It is thought that the installation of a wrought iron mast in HMS Undaunted may have been experimental. After launching, she went to Sheerness Dockyards for completion, and was then put straight into Reserve She was commissioned under Captain Hugh Campbell, sailing for the East Indies as the Flagship of Rear Admiral Reginald Macdonald. HMS Undaunted had some distinguished Captains, including Captain Harry Woodfall Brent, (1834-1911), who commanded the Undaunted later in 1875. She was then commanded by Captain Nathaniel Bowden-Smith, East Indies, again as the flagship of Rear-Admiral Macdonald, then of Rear-Admiral John Corbett (until he transferred his flag to HMS Euryalus). In 1879, the Undaunted, by now under Captain John D'Arcy, returned to Chatham, and then it was sold in 1882. The iron bell mast from this vessel, still survives at the Chatham Royal Dockyard site. It was then refurbished and erected in 1803 and the bell was rung to signal each change of shift for the dockyard employees until its closure in 1984. The Bell Mast is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and has been restored and stands at the new entrance to the Historic Dockyard (visitor attraction) off Leviathan Way.
