List of ships built at John I. Thornycroft & Company, Chiswick

Last updated

This is a list of ships built by John I. Thornycroft & Company at the yard at Chiswick, England. Production of larger ships moved to the yard at Woolston in 1904 and production at Chiswick ceased in 1909.

Ships and boats

Some early boats are not yet documented online. A large part of the information has been provided by the Miramar Ship Index (www.miramarshipindex.org.nz) through a Wikipedia partnership. However, the official lists of vessels built by Thornycroft (at both Chiswick and at Woolston) are available in the unpublished (but officially recognised) Thornycroft List of 1981 researched and compiled by the late David Lyon with assistance of Thornycroft personnel and the company's archives.

1862Nautilus#1This small steam launch of 9.5 knots was Thornycroft's first vessel, begun in 1859, when he was just 16. In 1862 it was the only boat that was able to follow the rovers of the University race, giving Thornycroft some publicity. [1] John I Thornycroft with Nautilus.jpg
1863Ariel#2There may have been two Ariels. Banbury (page 283) lists a wooden launch as Yard No. 2, while The Engineer of 4 November 1870 describes a steel yacht "built some time ago". [2]
1863unnamed punt#310 ft works Punt.
1863Slaney#4Steam launch. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. [3]
1866Waterlily#5Iron launch, capable of 7.8 knots. Preserved as part of the National Historic Fleet. It was used by Thomas Thornycroft, father of John I. Thornycroft. [4] [5] [6]
1866Idler#6Steam Launch. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. [7]
1870Swallow#7Capable of 16.2 knots. [8]
1870Scolopendra#8Steam launch. Apparently a sister to Cygnet. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. [9]
1870Cygnet#91.5Small steam launch, preserved and displayed by The Tamesis Trust. [10]
1871Miranda#103.7A fast steam yacht with lines that set the precedent for torpedo boats in the following years. [11] Miranda (boat, 1871).png
1871Canopus#11Open launch. The Royal Museums at Greenwich have the plans, but not much else is available online. [12]
1872Belvedere#12Capable of 15.6 knots. [13]
1872Sphinx#13
1872O.E.A.#15Launch of 15 metres (50 ft) or 17 metres (57 ft), capable of 14¾ knots. [14]

or
Maid of Homour		#16Open launch, capable of 10.5 knots. [15]
1872Sylvia#17Boat of 14 metres (45 ft), capable of 10.5 knots. [16]
1873Sir Arthur Cotton#18A fast launch, cited at 21.4 knots and claimed in 1874 to be the fastest vessel in the world. [17] [18]
1873Firefly#14There was more than one Firefly (#14 & #19) plus two further vessels of the #19 design. Engineering had two articles in 1873 about a vessel from that year, length 16 metres (53 ft) and with a speed of 16.46 knots (18.94 mph). [19] The 1873 yacht was apparently sold to Russia and converted into a torpedo boat. [20] [21] Firefly (boat, 1873).png

1875Torpedoboot I3210A spar torpedo boat for Austria-Hungary. Gogg gives it speed as 13 knots, while Banbury credits it with 18.2 knots. [31] [32] Second-class torpedo boat (14330730132) - cropped.jpg
1875Dampchalup Nr. 5338A third Rap-type vessel, this time for Denmark. The proposed armament with spar torpedoes never materialized, and instead it was first supplied with towed torpedoes and later with dropping gear for two 35 cm (14-inch) torpedoes. [33] Dampchalup nr 5 - plan for spar torpedoes (MAB-03268).jpg
1876Gitana37This fast yacht was built for Baroness A. de Rothschild and intended for service on Lake Geneva. The 27-metre (90 ft) long vessel did 20.76 knots (23.89 mph) on her trials. [34] Gitana (Yacht, 1876).png

1877Torpediniere I6030This boat for Italy was briefly described in Engineering on 8 June 1877 as being considered for Whitehead torpedoes. But it seems that a spar torpedo installation was chosen instead. [38] [39] Thornycroft Torpedo Boats for the Netherlands and Italy - Engineering 1877-06-08.png
1878Torpilleur 85426A series of spar torpedo boats for France. Measuring 26.6 metres (87.2 ft) overall, they were similar to HMS Lightning.

Measuring 26.3 metres (86.4 ft), they were almost identical to HMS Lightning (which was renamed HM TB 1), except that the Gitana-style cabin roof was discarded.
