HMS Mars was a two-deck 80-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 1 July 1848 at Chatham Dockyard.[1]

She served as a supply carrier in the Crimean War, and was fitted with screw propulsion in 1855. She then saw service in the Mediterranean.[2] In 1869 she was moored in the River Tay,[3] off Woodhaven. Here she served as a training ship for boys aged ten to sixteen from across Scotland, with up to 400 on board at any one time; these boys were usually homeless, orphans, or delinquents.[4][5] She was finally sold in 1929, when she was sold and towed to Thos. W. Ward's Inverkeithing yard to be broken up.[1][6]
