H.M. T.B. 39 was one of two first-class torpedo boats of the T.B. 39 class.
Construction
Initially built for Chilean Navy as the Glaura, she and her sister Fresia were sent out in sections for assembly in Chile. The two boats were still unassembled in 1885, when they were purchased by the Admiralty. Upon completion they were sent north to Esquimault to defend Canada's Pacific coast as tenders to Template:UK-2Swiftsure.[4][5]
Service
In 1895, she and her sister T.B. 40 were the only two first-class torpedo boats stationed at Esquimault.[6]
