Notes: The second HMS 'Eurydice' was launched in 1843, again a 24 gun post ship, yet foundered in 1878. The sinking of HMS 'Eurydice' in 1878 remains one of the Royal Navy's worst peace-time disasters - about 190 lives were lost

The hull was raised later in the same year but the ship had to be broken up.
