HMS Conqueror was the lead ship of her class of 101-gun, screw-propelled, second-rate ships of the line built for the Royal Navy in the 1850s. Completed in 1856, the ship served with the Channel Squadron and the Mediterranean Fleet before she was wrecked on Rum Cay in what was then the British Bahamas in 1861. Her wreck is a popular dive cite.
