RMS ''Trent'' was a British Royal Mail paddle steamer built in 1841 by William Pitcher of Northfleet for the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. She measured 1,856 gross tons and could carry 60 passengers. ''Trent'' served the transatlantic passenger route until she was requisitioned by the British government on the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854 for use as a troopship. She returned to her former civilian service in 1856. Her interception by during the American Civil War in November 1861 provoked the Trent Affair, also known as the Mason and Slidell Affair, which almost led to war between the United Kingdom and the United States. ''Trent'' continued in service until 1865, when she was sold and subsequently scrapped. == External links == * (A picture of ''Trent'' ) * (''Trent'' at Ships of the World ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RMS Trent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
