Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. HMS Edgar was a 74-gun Third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, that saw service in the American Revolutionary, French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Launched in 1779, she fought in the battles of Cape St Vincent (in 1780) and Copenhagen (in 1801)-two of the major naval engagements of the wars. Edgar also saw service as flagship to two different admirals, and was even the scene of a mutiny in 1808. After the end of her active career, she was employed as a prison ship before her 56 year life came to an end in 1835, when she was ordered to be broken up.
