HMS Princess Charlotte (1825)
- HMS Princess Charlotte (1825)
HMS "Princess Charlotte" was a 104-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 14 September 1825 at Portsmouth. The occasion was notable for the fact that the gates of the dry dock into which she was to be placed burst because of the high tide and more than 40 people were drowned.
From 1837 to 1841 she served as the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet flying the flag of Vice Admiral Sir Robert Stopford and thus took part in the Syrian War and the bombardment of Acre.
She became a receiving ship at Hong Kong in 1858, and was sold in 1875.
