HMS Amethyst was the lead ship of the Amethyst-class corvettes built for the Royal Navy in the early 1870s. She participated in the Third Anglo-Ashanti War in 1873 before serving as the senior officer's ship for the South American side of the South Atlantic. The ship was transferred to the Pacific Station in 1875 and fought in the Battle of Pacocha against the rebellious Peruvian ironclad warship Huáscar two years later. This made her the only British wooden sailing ship ever to fight an armoured opponent. After a lengthy refit, Amethyst again served as the senior officer's ship on the South American station from 1882 to 1885. She was sold for scrap two years later.

  • El HMS Amethyst fue el buque líder de las corbetas clase Amethyst construidas para la Royal Navy a principios de la década de 1870. Participó en la Tercera Guerra Anglo-Ashanti en 1873 antes de servir como barco de oficiales superiores para el lado sudamericano del Atlántico Sur. El barco fue trasladado a la Estación del Pacífico en 1875 y luchó en el Combate de Pacocha contra el rebelde acorazado peruano Huáscar dos años después. Esto la convirtió en el único velero de madera británico en luchar contra un oponente blindado. Después de un largo reacondicionamiento, el Amethyst volvió a servir como en la estación sudamericana de 1882 a 1885. Fue vendida como chatarra dos años más tarde. (es)
