HMS Culloden (1747)

HMS Culloden (1747)

HMS "Culloden" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built according to the dimensions laid out by the 1741 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Deptford Dockyard, and launched on 9 September 1747. She was the first ship to bear the name, and was named for the Battle of Culloden, which had been fought the previous year.

"Culloden" was the first British 74-gun ship built since HMS|Edgar|1668|6 in 1668. Her dimensions matched those of an Establishment 80-gun ship, but she was pierced with more gunports on her gundecks. She was also the smallest 74 of the eighteenth century, and was not considered a particularly successful ship by those who served on her.Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p93.]

She was finally sold on 29 June 1770, after 23 years in service.
