Two vessels that served the Royal Navy have been named ''Duchess of Cumberland'': * was the American privateer ''Congress'', of Beverley, Massachusetts,.〔Maclay (1900), p.125.〕 ''Congress'' was armed with eighteen 9-pounders guns, and had a crew of 120 men. captured her at some point between 16 June and 2 July 1781.〔This ''Congress'' was almost surely not the ''Congress'' involved in the capture of HMS ''Savage''.〕 The Royal Navy took ''Congress'' in as the 16-gun sloop HMS ''Duchess of Cumberland'', under Commander Edward Marsh. ''Duchess of Cumberland'' was wrecked on 22 September 1781 on Cape St. Mary's during a heavy fog. She had been escorting a convoy from Placentia, Newfoundland and Labrador.〔Hepper (1994), p.65.〕 * His Majesty's hired armed cutter ''Duchess of Cumberland''. ==Footnotes== ;Notes ;Citations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Duchess of Cumberland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
