HMS Wellington (U65)

The former HMS Wellington, a Grimsby-class sloop constructed in 1934 for the Royal Navy. The ship, which served as a convoy escort in the North Atlantic during the Second World War, has since 1948 been permanently moored along the Victoria Embankment as the headquarters of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners and known as HQS Wellington. As part of the post-war work to convert her to her present role, the grand wooden staircase of the 1906 Isle of Man ferry SS Viper was installed aboard Wellington.
