HMS Orford (1698)

HMS "Orford" was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford in 1698.. She carried twenty-two 24-pounder guns and four (18-pounder) culverins on the lower deck; twenty-six 12-pounder guns on the upper deck; fourteen (5-pounder) sakers on the quarter-deck and forecastle; and four 3-pounder guns on the poop or roundhouse.

She was rebuilt for the first time according to the 1706 Establishment at Limehouse, relaunching on 17 March 1713. She underwent a second rebuild in 1727.

In 1718 she was present at the Battle of Cape Passaro, and in 1736 she brought John Harrison and his first marine clock back from Lisbon.

"Orford" was wrecked on 13 February 1745 in the Windward Passage, though all her crew were saved.Ships of the Old Navy, "Orford".]
