H.M.S. Gannet was one of nine Doterel Class composite screw sloops completed for the Royal Navy. She was renamed H.M.S. President in the early 1900s. A river gunboat by the same name was launched in 1927.
Service
Commissioned at Sheerness on 3 September, 1885.[3]
Re-commissioned at Malta on 10 November, 1888.[4]
In early 1895, Dryad relieved Gannet in the Mediterranean, which returned to Englad to be taken out of service.[5]
The vessel was restored in 1987 to her 1888 appearance. She resides at Chatham Historic Dockyard.
