Sphinx-class aviso
The Sphinx class was the first type of steamer corvettes in service in the French Navy. They were motorised by French-made steam engines cloned from a low-pressure Newcomen steam engine purchased from Fawcett, in Liverpool, and made at Indret. Initially classified as "paddle corvettes", they were later reclassified as "first-class avisos".
