HMS Repulse (1780)

HMS Repulse (1780)

HMS "Repulse" was a 64-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 November 1780 at East Cowes, on the Isle of Wight.

On 10 March 1800, having been driven off course by heavy weather, "Repulse" struck a submerged rock and began taking on water. The crew eventually abandoned the ship somewhere in the vicinity of the Glénan islands, from where the majority of the survivors were taken away as prisoners of war. The first lieutenant took a number of men in "Repulse's" large cutter, and headed for England instead, arriving at Guernsey on 16 March. [Ships of the Old Navy.]
