Steam Warships — Hardy 1830–1834

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. Greenwich Hospital from the Thames. Not a steam-ship portrait.

Overview

The advocacy is already on First Naval Lord — Hardy 1830–1834 and Hardy Thomas Masterman — Captain HMS Victory. As First Naval Lord 1830–34 under Sir James Graham, Hardy championed the introduction of steam warships to the Royal Navy — Institutional Overview.¹

The Advocacy

This note covers that 1830–34 advocacy only. Named steam ships, horsepower, and paddle versus screw stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE. The office itself stays on First Naval Lord — Hardy 1830–1834.

The era overview names Demologos — First Steam Warship launched in 1814 as a sign the sail era was already ending. That American vessel is not this Royal Navy advocacy.²
