HMS Shannon
From Warlike
Q5634303
HMS Shannon was a 36-gun Perseverance-class fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy built at Frindsbury on the River Medway. Completed on 3 September 1803, she served in the Napoleonic Wars. Her name was changed from Pallas to Shannon shortly before construction, traditionally an omen of bad luck for a ship. In her case, she was wrecked within three months of her being launched.
