HMS Nile was a two-deck 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 June 1839 at Plymouth Dockyard.[1][2]
In 1854 Nile was fitted with screw propulsion.[1] In 1876 the ship was renamed HMS Conway and served as a training ship at Liverpool. The ship was wrecked while under tow through the Menai Strait in 1953; a fire in 1956 then destroyed her.[1] One may still find nails and timber at the site.
