HMS Queen Charlotte (1790)
- HMS Queen Charlotte (1790)
HMS "Queen Charlotte" was a 100-gun First rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 15 April 1790 at Chatham. She was built to the draught of HMS|Royal George|1788|2 designed by Sir Edward Hunt, though with a modified armament.
In 1794 the "Queen Charlotte" was the flagship of Admiral Lord Howe at the Battle of the Glorious First of June, and in 1795 she took part in the Battle of Groix.
At about 6am on 17 March 1800, whilst operating as the flagship of Vice-Admiral Lord Keith, the vessel was engaging in a reconnoitre of the island of Cabrera when she caught fire. The crew was unable to extinguish the flames and at about 11am the ship blew up with the loss of 673 officers and men.
