HMS Gloucester (1711)

HMS Gloucester (1711)

HMS "Gloucester" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Sir Joseph Allin to the 1706 Establishment of dimensions at Deptford Dockyard, and launched on 4 October 1711.

On 22 May 1733 "Gloucester" was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Sheerness, from where she was relaunched on 22 March 1737.

In 1742 "Gloucester" was damaged in a storm, and she was burned in order to avoid her being captured.
