HMS Conwy (Conway) - "jackass frigate"

[Admin (Matt)]

HMS CONWAY was built in 1839 as a 92 gun
wooden battleship and converted in 1876 to a
school ship. She was anchored in the Mersey
for many years before being moved to North Wales
where she was wrecked in the Menai Straits in
1953. Among the relics saved from the old
battleship is this anchor, donated by The
Conway Club.
