Summary

Gunboat, "The Protector" at Port Adelaide. HMCS Protector had been commissioned by the South Australian government and arrived in Adelaide in September 1884. She remained in active service with the South Australian forces, including a role in subduing the Boxer Rebellion, until she was transferred to the Commonwealth in 1901. For her size she was an exceptionally heavily armed vessel. To conserve fuel (coal) she was originally rigged as a topsail schooner.
