About: HMS Royal George (1756)

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

HMS Royal George was a ship of the line of the Royal Navy. A first-rate with 100 guns on three decks, she was the largest warship in the world at the time of her launch on 18 February 1756. Construction at Woolwich Dockyard had taken ten years. Royal George sank on 29 August 1782 whilst anchored at Spithead off Portsmouth. The ship was intentionally rolled so maintenance could be performed on the hull, but the roll became unstable and out of control; the ship took on water and sank. More than 800 people died, making it one of the most deadly maritime disasters in British territorial waters.

  • HMS Royal George was a ship of the line of the Royal Navy. A first-rate with 100 guns on three decks, she was the largest warship in the world at the time of her launch on 18 February 1756. Construction at Woolwich Dockyard had taken ten years. The ship saw immediate service during the Seven Years' War, including the Raid on Rochefort in 1757. She was Admiral Sir Edward Hawke's flagship at the Battle of Quiberon Bay in 1759. The ship was laid up following the conclusion of the war in 1763, but was reactivated in 1777 for the American Revolutionary War. She then served as Rear Admiral Robert Digby's flagship at the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1780. Royal George sank on 29 August 1782 whilst anchored at Spithead off Portsmouth. The ship was intentionally rolled so maintenance could be performed on the hull, but the roll became unstable and out of control; the ship took on water and sank. More than 800 people died, making it one of the most deadly maritime disasters in British territorial waters. Several attempts were made to raise the vessel, both for salvage and because she was a major hazard to navigation in the Solent. In 1782, Charles Spalding recovered fifteen 12-pounder guns using a diving bell of his own design. From 1834 to 1836, Charles and John Deane recovered more guns using a diving helmet they had invented. In 1839 Charles Pasley of the Royal Engineers commenced operations to break up the wreck using barrels of gunpowder. Pasley's team recovered more guns and other items between 1839 and 1842. In 1840, they destroyed the remaining structure of the wreck in an explosion which shattered windows several miles away in Portsmouth and Gosport. (en)
  • El HMS Royal George fue uno de los seis primeros navíos de línea construidos para la armada británica entre 1750 y 1790. El Royal George estaba destinado a recibir el nombre de Royal Anne en 1746, pero al ser un gran buque fue llamado como el rey regente por entonces. (es)
  • Le HMS Royal George est un vaisseau de ligne de premier rang de 100 canons de la Royal Navy britannique. Construit aux chantiers navals de Woolwich Dockyard et lancé le 18 février 1756, il est le plus grand vaisseau de guerre du monde au moment de son lancement. Il sert pendant la guerre de Sept Ans, et est le vaisseau amiral de l'amiral Hawke pendant la bataille des Cardinaux, sous le commandement du capitaine John Campbell. Il sert à nouveau pendant la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, notamment à la bataille du cap Saint-Vincent en 1780. Il coule au cours d'une manœuvre d'entretien de routine alors qu'il était au mouillage à Portsmouth le 29 août 1782, causant la mort de plus de 800 personnes se trouvant à bord. Il s'agit de l'un des naufrages les plus meurtriers de l'Histoire du Royaume-Uni, derrière le désastre naval de Sorlingues (1707). (fr)
