HMS Dublin (1757)

HMS Dublin was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Adam Hayes at Deptford Dockyard and launched on 6 May 1757.

Under Rodney, the ship and her huge crew of 550 men was part of the unsuccessful 20-ship British raid on the French port of Rochefort on 5 September 1757 during the Seven Years' War.

In June 1759, she took part in the Siege of Quebec involving around 50 British vessels.

She was stationed at Domenica in June 1761 and in January 1762 participated in British operations at Martinique.

From 1763 to 1779, she underwent considerable repairs and refitting at Plymouth Dockyard and returned to active service in December 1779.
