HMS Eagle (1679)
HMS ''Eagle'' was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Portsmouth Dockyard in 1679.〔
She underwent a rebuild at Chatham Dockyard in 1699, retaining her armament of 70 guns. She was captained by James Wishart and served at the Battle of Cadiz and the Battle of Vigo Bay in 1702〔(James Wishart ), Europeana, accessed December 2012〕 when there was a raid on Spanish silver.
Under the command of Captain Robert Hancock,〔(James Herbert Cooke, The Shipwreck of Sir Cloudesley Shovell on the Scilly Islands in 1707, From Original and Contemporary Documents Hitherto Unpublished, Read at a Meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, London, Feb. 1, 1883 )〕 ''Eagle'' was lost with all hands off the Scilly Isles on 22 October 1707〔〔Ships of the Old Navy, ''Eagle''.〕 when a disastrous navigational error sent Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell's fleet through dangerous reefs while on their way from Gibraltar to Portsmouth. Four ships (''Eagle'', ''Association'', ''Firebrand'' and ''Romney'') were lost, with nearly 2,000〔Sobel, Dava, ''Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time'', Fourth Estate Ltd., London 1998, p. 6, ISBN 1-85702-571-7〕 sailors. The Scilly naval disaster was one of the greatest maritime disasters in British history. It was largely as a result of this disaster that the Board of the Admiralty instituted a competition for a more precise method to determine longitude.
