 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): HMS Sirius was a 36-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. The Admiralty ordered her construction on 30 April 1795, and the keel was laid at the Dudman's yard in Deptford in September of that year. She was launched on 12 April 1797. The Sirius Class (1795) was established following the taking of the San Fiorenzo from the Spanish in 1794, upon whose lines this frigate was based.

Today the Sirius lies in some 20-25 metres of water, and although the wreck has been broken up, as much by salvors as by her unfortunate scuttling, the site is of great archaeological interest, with many of the cannon lying exposed. Source: Wikipedia.org
