- HMS Windsor Castle (1790)
HMS "Windsor Castle" was a 98-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 3 May 1790 at Deptford Dockyard.
"Windsor Castle" was part of Robert Calder's fleet at the Battle of Cape Finisterre in 1805. In 1807, "Windsor Castle" served in the Dardanelles Operation as part of a squadron under Admiral Sir John Duckworth and was badly damaged when an 800 pound stone shot from a Turkish cannon sheared off her main mast as the squadron withdrew from the area.[p.683, Yeo] However, she accompanied Duckworth on the Alexandria expedition of 1807, and in May left Alexandria and sailed to Malta.]She was reduced to a 74-gun ship in 1814, and was eventually broken up in 1839.
