HMS Sinbad was a 60-foot (18.3 m) lighter built for the Royal Navy during the 1830s. She was converted into a bomb vessel during the Crimean War of 1854–55 and converted back into a lighter after the war. The ship was broken up in 1866.
Sinbad had a length at the upper deck of 60 feet 1 inch (18.3 m) and 47 feet 6 inches (14.5 m) at the keel. She had a beam of 20 feet 9 inches (6.3 m), a draught of about 5 feet (1.5 m) and a depth of hold of 9 feet (2.7 m). The ship's tonnage was 105 tons burthen.[1]
When converted into bomb vessels, the 60-foot lighters were armed with a single 13-inch (330 mm) mortar and had a complement of 17–18 crewmen.[2]
