H.M.S. Boscawen was the name given to a Royal Navy boys' training ship based at Portland.

As was common in such shore establishments, the ship acting as Boscawen rotated over time. Wikipedia records the following ships hosting this facility:[1]

  • H.M.S. Trafalgar launched in 1841 was Boscawen from 1873 to 1906. In June 1906 while lying at Portland, she was listed for sale at a July 10th Portsmouth auction of "Obsolete War Vessels and Other Craft" as "Lot 12".[2]
  • H.M.S. Minotaur launched in 1863 was Boscawen II from 1893 to 1904, and Boscawen from 1904 to 1905.
  • H.M.S. Agincourt launched in 1865 was Boscawen III from 1905 to 1906.
