The 14-in Fiume Mark I Torpedo was an early torpedo manufactured by the Whitehead & Co..
By the end of 1884, the Royal Navy had purchased 225 of them as it sought to compare Whitehead-manufactured specimens with their domestically licensed weapons built at the Royal Laboratory.[1]
These torpedoes, along with 14-in torpedoes R.L. Marks I-III and Fiume Marks I-II were deemed obsolete in 1892.[2]
Mark I*
Some time before the end of 1884, 50 Mark Is had been altered to this standard and 49 more were under alteration at Fiume.[3]
