HMS Fury was a Hecla-class bomb ship. Built in the 1810's, she never saw wartime service, but as with the rest of her class, instead became an Arctic exploration ship.
The Fury made two journeys to the Arctic both under the command of William Edward Parry.
Her first arctic journey in 1821 was Parry's second in search of the North West Passage and she made the trip with her sister ship HMS Hecla. The furthest point on this trip was named after the two ships: Fury and Hecla Strait.
Her second arctic trip was Parry's third and was disasterous for the Fury. She was damaged by ice while overwintering and was abandoned on August 25, 1825. Her stores were unloaded onto the ice, and came to the rescue of many arctic explorers over the next few decades.
