Coloured print from a lithograph of HMS Bramble (1886), a first-class gunboat of the Royal Navy, shown in three-quarter starboard view, lying at anchor in calm water off Devonport with her sister ship, Lizard, in the background. The sea is calm and an outline of low blue-grey hills stretches along the coastline. Bramble has a white hull, single funnel and three masts. The white ensign flies at the stern and she is attended by three small boats, two of which are secured to booms extending at right angles amidships. The sixth ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name, HMS Bramble was built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff as a 715 ton, 6-gun, screw gunboat and commissioned at Plymouth in 1887. She saw service in Africa, also off the south-east coast of America and in Europe on the river Danube. Later in her career Bramble was renamed HMS Cockatrice and was finally sold at Chatham in 1906.
