HMS Invincible (1765) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | HMS Invincible, built in 1765, was a long service, 1,631 ton, third rate ship of the line in the British Royal Navy. |
| | Invincible was built in a shipyard in the Thames River near London in 1765 during a period of peace to replace ships worn out in the recently finished Seven Years' War. |
| | The admiral and 195 sailors escaped the wreck, either in one of the ship's boats which got away or were picked up by a passing collier and fishing boat, but over 400 of their shipmates drowned in the disaster, most of them once the ship began to sink in deeper water. |
