H.M. T.B. 50 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.
Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 050.[6]
Service
She participated in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1894 as one of three boats in the Holyhead Division of the Blue Side.[7]
In 1895, she was one of twenty-three first-class torpedo boats of at least 125 feet in length stationed in Portsmouth along with four smaller ones.[8]
She was commissioned on 8 July 1896 in order to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896, but I have been unable to find who was her captain.[9][10][11]
Sold to R. Longmate on 23 February, 1920.[12]
