[2] Canterbury along with HMS Chester, during the War of Jenkins' Ear captured the Spanish Caracca St Joseph on 23 September 1739.

The St Joseph was probably the most valuable single prize of the war.

[4] On 25 April 1741, she was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt at Plymouth Dockyard as a 58-gun fourth rate according to the 1741 proposals of the 1719 Establishment.
