HMS Minstrel, Naval museum ship in Chanthaburi, Thailand.

The steel-hulled vessel reaches 225 feet in length and features dual vertical triple-expansion steam engines that generate speeds up to 16.5 knots.

The Algerine-class minesweeper was constructed in Toronto during 1944 and served in the Royal Navy before its transfer to Thailand in 1947.

The vessel participated in the 1953 sea review celebration for Queen Elizabeth II coronation while operating as a training ship for Thai naval cadets.

The ship contains multiple decks accessible to visitors, displaying original equipment, naval artifacts, and educational exhibits about maritime operations.

The vessel underwent several transformations throughout its service life, changing from a wartime minesweeper to a cadet training platform and finally a museum.
