HMS Glasgow (1707)

HMS Glasgow was a 24-gun sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy, launched in 1707. She was built at Deptford Dockyard according to the 1706 Establishment, and served during the War of the Spanish Succession. Little is readily available regarding her specific actions, but ships of this class and era were typically used for convoy escort, patrolling, and reconnaissance. Her service likely involved operations in the English Channel and potentially further afield, protecting British trade and projecting naval power. Records indicate she remained in service until at least 1712, after which her fate is less clear. Many vessels of this size were either sold, broken up, or repurposed after major conflicts. Further archival research would be needed to determine her exact decommissioning date and ultimate disposition.
