History

In 1798, some of her crew were court-martialed for mutiny.[2]

Glory served as the flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Stirling at the Battle of Cape Finisterre in 1805, commanded by Captain Samuel Warren.

Glory was re-rated as a prison ship at Chatham on 27 September 1809. Lieutenant Richard Simmonds commanded her in 1810 and 1811.[1][Note 1] His replacement was Lieutenant Robert Tyte and Vice Admiral George Murray in 1794.[1]

Fate

Glory was paid off into ordinary in August 1814. In 1815 the navy used her as a powder hulk. She was ordered to be broken up in 1819; break up was completed at Chatham on 30 July 1825.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ In 1812 Simmonds assumed command of the gunbrig HMS Attack.[3]
