HMS Royal James (1675)

HMS Royal James (1675)

HMS "Royal James" was a 100-gun first rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Sir Anthony Deane at Portsmouth Dockyard and launched in 1675. She was renamed HMS "Victory" on 7 March 1691. Recommissioned under Captain Edward Stanley, as the flagship of Admiral Sir John Ashby, she participated in the Battle of Barfleur on 19 May 1692 – 24 May 1692.

"Victory" was rebuilt at Chatham Dockyard in 1694—1695. Briefly renamed "Royal George" in 1714 after the Hanoverians came to the throne, but resumed the name "Victory" in 1715. She was partly destroyed by an accidental fire in February 1721 and was broken up, though remained on the navy list until she was ostensibly rebuilt as the new HMS|Victory|1737|6.Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p79.]
