HMS Triton was a paddle steamer which was used by the Royal Navy for many years as a survey ship.[1] The ship was commissioned by Staff Commander Thomas Henry Tizard, who had started a survey of the coast of England in 1879 in HMS Porcupine, which was sold after HMS Triton became available for use. Tizard continued this work until 1891.[2]
Following this HMS Triton undertook survey work in Pacific Ocean.[1]
In 191[when?] she was retired from active service, and with her engines and funnels removed became a training ship at the Thames Nautical Training College.
