HMS Iphigenia (1804) was a 38-gun fifth rate, formerly the Spanish ship Medea. She was captured in 1804 and renamed HMS Imperieuse in 1805. She was placed on harbour service in 1818 and was sold in 1838.
HMS Iphigenia (1808) was a 36-gun fifth rate launched in 1808. She was lent to the
Marine Society between 1833 and 1848, and was broken up in 1851.
^Ipigenia was armed
en flute and was serving as a transport. She had been to Cyprus to fetch water and timber but shortly after her return to Alexandria she was discovered to be on fire. The amount of wood on her made it impossible to put the fire out. There were no casualties.[1] Because Iphigenia served in the navy's Egyptian campaign (8 March to 8 September 1801), her officers and crew qualified for the clasp "Egypt" to the
Naval General Service Medal, which the
Admiralty issued in 1847 to all surviving claimants.[2]
