HMS Canada was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 17 September 1765 at Woolwich Dockyard.[1]

On 2 May 1781, Canada engaged and captured the Spanish ship Шаблон:Ship, of 34 guns.[2]

In 1782, Canada was under the command of William Cornwallis,[2] when she took part in the Battle of St. Kitts. Later that year she participated in the Battle of the Saintes.

She took part in the action of 6 November 1794 under Charles Powell Hamilton and managed to avoid capture.

Napoleonic Wars

In 1807, Canada was in the Caribbean in a squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Alexander Cochrane. The squadron, which included Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS, Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS, captured Telemaco, Carvalho and Master on 17 April 1807.[3]

Following the concern in Britain that neutral Denmark was entering an alliance with Napoleon, in December 1807 Canada sailed in Cochrane's squadron in the expedition to occupy the Danish West Indies. The expedition captured the Danish islands of St Thomas on 22 December and Santa Cruz on 25 December. The Danes did not resist and the invasion was bloodless.

Fate

Canada became a prison ship from 1810, and was broken up in 1834.[1]
