HMS Duchess (1679)

HMS Duchess (1679)

HMS "Duchess" was a 90-gun second rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by John Shish at Deptford Dockyard, and launched in 1679. She was renamed HMS "Princess Anne" in 1701, HMS "Windsor Castle" in 1702, and HMS "Blenheim" in 1706.

In 1709 "Blenheim" was rebuilt at Woolwich Dockyard, remaining a 90-gun second rate. She continued to serve until 1763, when she was broken up.
