HMS Royal Oak (1809)

HMS Royal Oak (1809)

HMS "Royal Oak" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 4 March 1809 at Dudman's yard in Deptford. Her first commanding officer was Captain Pulteney Malcolm.

In 1812, "Royal Oak" was under the command of Captain T.G. Shortland, who was superseded by Captain Edward Dix in 1813. During this time she was the Flagship of Rear Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk, off the Texel.

On 1 June 1814 Rear Admiral Pulteney Malcolm, who had hoisted his flag aboard "Royal Oak", proceeded with troops under Brigadier General Ross to North America. Malcolm accompanied Sir Alexander Cochrane on the expedition up the Chesapeake and regulated the debarkation and embarkation of the troops employed against Washington and Baltimore.

From 1825 "Royal Oak" was employed on harbour service, until in 1850 she was broken up.
