HMS Benbow (1813)

HMS "Benbow" was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Brent of Rotherhithe and launched on February 3 1813.

She was used for harbour service from February 1848 until August 1859, when she was converted to be used as a coal hulk. In 1892, after 79 years of service, she was sold out of the Navy, and was broken up in 1895 at Castle, Woolwich.
