Archer-class sloop

The Archer-class sloops were a class of two wooden screw sloops built for the Royal Navy in the late 1840s. Both ships served during the Crimean War, Archer in the Baltic Sea, and Wasp in the Black Sea, and they both served on the overseas stations of the British Empire, as far afield as the East Indies and both North and South America. Both played an anti-slavery role off the coasts of West Africa. By 1869 they had both been broken up.
