HMS Northumberland (1705)

HMS Northumberland (1705)

HMS "Northumberland" was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford and launched in 1705.

She was rebuilt twice during her career, firstly at Woolwich, where she was reconstructed according to the 1719 Establishment and relaunched on 13 July 1721. Her second rebuild was carried out at Woolwich Dockyard, where she was reconstructed as a 64-gun third rate according to the 1741 proposals of the 1719 Establishment, and relaunched on 17 October 1743.

"Northumberland" was captured off Ushant on 8 May 1744 by the French ship "Content" (commanded by Hubert de Brienne, Comte de Conflans). She was subsequently taken into the French navy and renamed "Atlas".
