HMS Royal George (1827)

HMS Royal George was a 120-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 22 September 1827 at Chatham Dockyard. In 1853 she was fitted with screw propulsion. Boilers and engines were placed in space previously used for water tanks. Further space had to be given over to storing coal, which made the ship rather crowded. In February 1856 Captain Henry Codrington was replaced by Captain Robinson.

It was announced in 1864 that she would replace the HMS Ajax (1809) as the Coast-guard ship at Devonport.

On 27 October 1867, Royal George was driven ashore at Kingstown, County Dublin. She was refloated with assistance from RMS Ulster (1860). She was sold out of the service in 1875.
