HMS Brunswick was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 30 April 1790 at Deptford.[1]
On 29 October 1792, three condemned mutineers of the Mutiny on the Bounty were hanged from her yardarms.
She fought at the Glorious First of June in 1794 under Captain John Harvey, who died of the wounds he received in the battle, sinking the French ship Vengeur du Peuple.
In 1812 Brunswick was on harbour service, and she was broken up in 1826.[1]
