  British Navy Ships--HMS Northumberland (1868-1927)
HMS Northumberland, a 10,780-ton broadside ironclad built at Millwall, England, was a modification of the type represented by HMS Minotaur and HMS Agincourt.
In company with HMS Agincourt she towed a large floating drydock to Madeira, where the ironclads Warrior and Black Prince took over and took the dock to its final destination at Bermuda.
Northumberland, now quite outdated, was harborbound from the early 1890s onward, initially in reserve and then as a stokers training ship (under the name Acheron).

Northumberland’s first stand-off was at Marmaris in Turkey, the earliest opportunity for many of the British sailors to meet their SNFM colleagues face-to-face.
Northumberland hosted Cdre Wirth, who toured the frigate and saw a presentation by the Heads of Departments, and the Dutch ship’s team used Northumberland’s flight deck as a ‘merchant ship’ during boarding exercises.
The weather in the early stages of the deployment was “awful”, with the upper deck out of bounds on a regular basis, but as the conditions settled and the temperature rose, so the ship was able to stage the first barbecue of 2003 on the Flight Deck, organised and cooked by the 30 Man Mess.
