HMS Captain was a British armored ship with a steam and sailing engine from the second half of the 19th century. The keel for this unit was laid in 1867, the launch took place in 1869, and the entry into service in the Royal Navy - in 1870. The total length of the ship was 97.54 meters and a width of 16.23 meters. The displacement was around 7,800 tons and the maximum speed was around 15 knots. The deck armament, at the time of launching, consisted of, among others: 4 305 mm guns and 2 178 mm guns.

HMS Captain was built under clear pressure from public opinion, despite objections from many members of the British Admiralty and the Navy. The Laird Brothers shipyard in Birkenhead was responsible for the construction of the ship. Already at the design stage, the unit had construction problems, the most important of which was poor sea performance and very poor stability of the ship in high waves. Despite attempts, these disadvantages could not be eliminated. It was these design errors that led to the tragic sinking of HMS Captain in the storm of September 6, 1870. The shipwreck has become a grave for nearly 500 people.
