HMS Culloden was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard, England, and launched on 18 May 1776. She was the fourth warship to be named after the Battle of Culloden, which took place in Scotland in 1746 and saw the defeat of the Jacobite rising. She served with the Channel Fleet during the American War of Independence, seeing action at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, before being sent out to the West Indies. Her stay there was brief, sailing for New York City with Admiral Rodney in August 1780 to join the North American station. The ship's specific duties were to blockade the French at Newport, Rhode Island where a French army of 6,000 had disembarked in July 1780. The H.M.S. Culloden is one of the oldest and most historical shipwrecks that beach divers can explore off Long Islands coast. The Culloden was armed with twenty- eight 32 ponders, twenty-eight 18 ponders and eighteen 9 pound cannons.
