HMS Dartmouth (1693)

HMS Dartmouth (1693)

HMS "Dartmouth" was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the English Royal Navy, launched at Rotherhithe on 24 July 1693.

She was captured by the French in 1695. Upon her re-capture in 1702 she was renamed HMS "Vigo", as a new ship of the navy had already been commissioned as HMS|Dartmouth|1698|6. Her service as HMS "Vigo" was short however, as she was wrecked in 1703.
