HMS Greenwich was a 54-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Christopher Pett at Woolwich Dockyard and launched in 1666.
[2] She fought at the action of August 1702 as part of a squadron under Admiral John Benbow, but hung back from the engagement.
On 16 April 1724 she was ordered to be taken to pieces at Chatham, and rebuilt as a 50-gun fourth-rate to the dimensions of the 1719 Establishment, relaunching on 15 February 1730.
[3] On 20 October 1744, whilst preparing to come alongside the hulk HMS Lark, they were struck by hurricane-force winds which caused severe damage to both vessels, which subsequently sank.
His Majesty's ships St Albans, Bonetta and Thunder were also lost in this incident.
