HMS Salisbury (1698)

HMS Salisbury (1698)

HMS "Salisbury" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Richard and James Herring at Baileys Hard (near Bucklers Hard) on the Beaulieu River in Hampshire, England and launched on 18 April 1698.

She was captured by the French ship "Adroit" on 10 April 1703. She was subsequently recaptured on 15 March 1708 and renamed HMS "Salisbury Prize", and later renamed HMS "Preston" on 2 January 1716.

On 8 May 1739 "Preston" was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt at Plymouth according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and was relaunched on 18 September 1742. She was then hulked at Trincomalee in September 1748 and broken up there in November 1749.
