HMS Queen Charlotte (1810)

HMS Queen Charlotte was a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 17 July 1810 at Deptford. She replaced the first HMS Queen Charlotte (1790) sunk in 1800.

Career
A Black sailor from Grenada named William Brown was discharged from Queen Charlotte in 1815 for being a woman.

She was Lord Exmouth's flagship during the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816.

On 17 September 1817, Linnet, a tender to Queen Charlotte, seized a smuggled cargo of tobacco. The officers and crew of Queen Charlotte shared in the prize money.

On 17 December 1823, Queen Charlotte was driven into the British ship Brothers at Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. Brothers suffered severe damage in the collision.

Fate
Queen Charlotte was converted to serve as a training ship in 1859 and renamed HMS Excellent. She was eventually sold out of the service to be broken up in 1892.
