Builder:	Thornycroft
Ordered:	30 April/1 May, 1885
Launched:	18 October, 1886
Sold:	19 December, 1919

H.M. T.B. 58 was one of 53 first-class torpedo boats of the 125 Footer class.

Around 1906-1907, with the issuance of torpedo boat numbers to the first of the Cricket class torpedo boats, the existing Torpedo Boats numbered 25 to 79 had a "0" prepended to their number. This vessel, therefore, became T.B. 058.

Service

In 1895, she was one of thirteen torpedo boats of 125 feet or greater length and four smaller ones stationed in Devonport. She was sold to Multilocular Shipbreaking Co. on 19 December, 1919.
