French ship Northumberland (1780)

The "Northumberland" was a 74-gun "Annibal" class ship of the line of the French Navy.

She took part in the Battle of the Saintes under captain Saint Cézaire, who was killed in the action. In 1782, she captured the 14-gun sloop HMS "Allegiance".

She was captured during the Glorious First of June in 1794, where she was captained by François-Pierre Étienne. She was recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS "Northumberland", and was broken up the next year in December 1795.
