the pieces in which she would be shipped to China.

ABOVE: HMS Woodcock. This shot appears in Jane's Fighting Ships and the
Shanghai Bund is seen in the background. The Customs House (the church-like
building just left of center) was under construction in 1902 and probably
completed in 1903. Given the state of buildings appearing on the Bund,
I would estimate this photograph to have been taken around 1903-07.

| ABOVE: I am unsure about this photograph and I now think it is HMS Woodcock
(possibly HMS Woodlark). It could also conceivaby be HMS Snipe or HMS Nightingale.
Snipe, Nightingale, Robin and Sandpiper (sister ships) were about 35 feet
smaller than Woodcock and Woodlark. |
I also found the following image on the internet that may be of interest: HMS Woodcock.
