HMS Salisbury (1707)

HMS Salisbury (1707)

HMS "Salisbury" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Chatham Dockyard to the dimensions of the 1706 Establishment, and launched on 3 July 1707.

"Salisbury" was rebuilt for the first time by Stacey of Woolwich Dockyard. Unusually, as she was undergoing her rebuild just 10 years after her original launch, she was reconstructed to the same design specifications, and was relaunched on 10 October 1717. "Salisbury" was the only ship to have been built twice to the same design.Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p79.] She was ordered to be taken to pieces for her second rebuild in orders dated 9 April 1725, and was rebuilt at Portsmouth to the 1719 Establishment. "Salisbury" was relaunched on 30 October 1726.

She was converted to a hulk in 1744, and was sold out of the navy in 1749.
