HMS Albatross was a 4-gun Fantome-class sloop built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1870s.

History

In May 1886, she was driven ashore at Hong Kong whilst going to the assistance of the British ship Dafila, which had also driven ashore.[1] Both vessels were refloated, and HMS Albatross towed Dafila in to Hoikow, China.[2]
