HMS Flamborough (1707)
HMS ''Flamborough'' was a Royal Navy post ship, launched in 1707 with 24 guns. She was the first Royal Navy vessel to be stationed in South Carolina, holding that position from 1719 to 1721. She was rebuilt as a considerably larger 20-gun vessel in 1727, and was employed during the following decade off Ireland and later on the Jamaica station. After a period in New York she returned to the Carolinas in 1739, patrolling the coast and playing a minor role in the War of Jenkins' Ear. She returned to England in 1745. After undergoing a major repair she recommissioned under Captain Jervis Porter in April 1746, and served in the North Sea for the following two years. She was sold out of naval service in 1749.
== Construction and early service ==
''Flamborough'' was laid down in Woolwich Dockyard as a 24-gun post ship in 1706, and she was launched on 29 January 1707.〔 Her earliest recorded service was in 1707 for the protection of Yarmouth fisheries, commanded by Commander William Clarke, and in 1708 she was in the Channel with Byng's fleet. In 1710 under Capt. Charles Vanburgh she captured two French privateers in the North Sea, the ''Trompeuse'' on 22 May and the ''St François'' on 5 June. In 1711, now under Commander Thomas Howard, she was assigned to escort merchant convoys and intercept French privateers in English waters between Newcastle and Leith. In late 1711 she captured a French privateer in a brief action off Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth; the privateer's Scottish captain was subsequently convicted of high treason and executed in London.〔
Following service in the North Sea from 1718 to 1719, from 5 October 1719 to 14 July 1721 ''Flamborough'' was stationed off South Carolina under the command of Captain John Hildesley; the first Royal Navy vessel to be assigned to these waters. In 1727 she was rebuilt at Portsmouth as a 20-gun vessel. Ten years later she was again posted to the Americas, sailing for New York in March 1738 under Captain Vincent Pearce.
