RUSSELL (74) 3rd rate Built in 1764, Deptford.
Sold in 1811.

  • 1777 Capt. Edward LE CRASS.
  • 1778 Capt. Francis Samuel DRAKE. On the 25th. December Adm. Lord SHULDHAM sailed from Spithead, with more than 300 sail of merchant ships under his convoy, which he was to conduct to a certain latitude, and then return home. The fleet consisted mainly of the trade for North America, and the East and West Indies. Off Berry Head the RUSSELL ran with such violence on board the London East-Indiaman, that she sank in less than an hour. The ROMULUS saved the crew, except for three or four, and the damage to the RUSSEL was so great, that she was ordered to Portsmouth to repair.
  • 1799 Capt. Sir H. TROLLOPE, cruising in Channel.
  • 1800 Capt. SAWYER, re-fitting at Plymouth.
  • 1803 Capt. Robert WILLIAMS, Cawsand Bay.
