HMS Bronington (M1115) is a Ton-class minesweeper of the Royal Navy, launched on 1953-03-19, the former command of Charles, Prince of Wales. This mahogany-hulled minesweeper is one of the last of the "wooden walls" (wooden-hulled naval vessels). It was berthed in the historic Manchester Ship Canal at Trafford Park, Greater Manchester, England for some time but is now located in the Birkenhead Docks, near Liverpool, where she is moored alongside ships of the Warship Preservation Trust. The ship was purchased in January 1989 by the Bronington Trust, a registered charity (patron Prince Charles, who commanded this vessel in 1976).
