Conway brushed metal plaque

This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: HMS Conway was built in 1839 as a 92 gun wooden battleship and converted in 1876 to a school ship. She was anchored in the Mersey for many years before being moved to North Wales where she was wrecked in the Menai Straits in 1953. Among the relics saved from the old battleship is this anchor. Donated by The Conway Club. Recorded plaque organisation: Conway Club, Merseyside Maritime Museum.

HMS Conway, originally a 92-gun wooden battleship launched in 1839, was later converted into a naval training ship and played a significant role in maritime education until her loss in 1953.
