HMS Captivity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Captivity. In both cases they were old ships that had been renamed after their conversion to prison ships:
- HMS Captivity was a former 64-gun third rate launched in 1772 as HMS Monmouth. She became a prison ship and was renamed HMS Captivity in 1796. She was broken up in 1816.
- HMS Captivity was a former 74-gun third rate launched in 1786 as HMS Bellerophon. She became a prison ship in 1815 and was renamed HMS Captivity in 1824. She was sold in 1836.
