High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! HMS Fury was a Hecla-class bomb vessel. Built in the 1810s, she saw wartime service in an attack on Barbary pirates at Algiers in August, 1816, captained by Constantine Richard Moorsom. The ship after it left his command was converted to an Arctic exploration ship. The Fury made two journeys to the Arctic under the command of William Edward Parry. Both voyages were made in company with her sister ship, HMS Hecla. Her first Arctic journey in 1821 was Parry's second in search of the Northwest Passage. The furthest point on this trip, the perpetually frozen strait between Foxe Basin and the Gulf of Boothia, was named after the two ships: Fury and Hecla Strait.
