HMS Adventure (1646)

HMS Adventure (1646)

HMS "Adventure" was a 34-gun fourth rate frigate of the English Royal Navy, built by Peter Pett II at Woolwich and launched in 1646. The term 'frigate' during the period of this ship referred to a method of construction, rather than a role which did not develop until the following century.

By 1677 her armament had been increased to 40 guns. "Adventure" was rebuilt as a 44-gun fourth rate at Chatham Dockyard in 1691. She was captured by the French off Martinique, in the West Indies on 1 March 1709.Colledge, p. 5.]
