HMS Assurance (1747)

HMS "Assurance" was a 44-gun fifth rate frigate of the Royal Navy, launched in 1747. She was wrecked off The Needles near the Isle of Wight, England in 1753.

The shipwreck site identified at the Needles contains the remains of two wrecks, thought to be the "Assurance" and HMS|Pomone|1805|2. The wrecksite was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act on 4 April 1974. The designation lists the date of sinking as 1738, [ [http://www.culture.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/F47CA311-8CA4-4F43-9DE1-A1FE323AA934/0/achwsreport19992000.pdf Advisory Committee on Historic Wrecks Report for 1999-2000.] ] although research by the John Bingeman (licensee from 1978) from the court martial accounts [ [http://www.hwtma.org.uk/lectures/10_annual_public.pdf Lecture by John Bingeman] given in 2001.] indicates that the wreck occurred in 1753.

The wrecksite was identified by an Isle of Wight resident, Derek Williams, who became the first licencee.
