| Description |
Model of HMS Invinvible, 1,793 tons, 74 gun Third Rate, at Chatham Historic Dockyard, 17 February 2020. Launched in 1744 at Rochefort for the French Navy. Designed by Pierre Morineau, she and two other 74's designed by different designers represented a new type of large 74, much bigger and faster than contemporary British 70's. Her original armament was 28 x 36 pdrs on the Lower Gun Deck, 30 x 18 pdrs on the Upper Gun Deck, 6 x 6pdrs on the Quarterdeck and 2 x 6 pdrs on the Forecastle. She was captured by Admiral Anson in 1747 during the War of the Austrian Succession at the First Battle of Finesterre. She was taken into the Royal Navy (retaining her name), altered to British standards and re-armed with British guns: 32pdrs, 18pdrs and 9 pdrs. She was wrecked in 1758 off Portsmouth. She was highly thought of by her captains. |
