HMS Pyramus

Several ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Pyramus.

HMS Pyramus (1810) was a fifth rate 36-gun frigate built in Portsmouth and hulked in ca. 1830 at Halifax, N. S.. Sold and broken up in 1879. The information that the ship had been captured by Lord Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 is incorrect. (Source Dr. Ian A.

HMS Pyramus (1897) was a Pelorus-class protected cruiser launched in 1897, and sold in 1920.
