HMS Northumberland was a 70-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard and launched in 1705. [1]
She was rebuilt twice during her career, firstly at Woolwich Dockyard, where she was reconstructed according to the 1719 Establishment and relaunched on 13 July 1721. [2] Her second rebuild was also 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. [3]
Northumberland was captured during the action of 8 May 1744 [a] by the French ships Mars commanded by Étienne Perier and Content commanded by the Comte de Conflans. [4] She was subsequently taken into the French navy as Northumberland, before being renamed Atlas in 1766.
