HMS Sorlings (1694)

HMS Sorlings was a small, sixth-rate vessel in the Royal Navy launched in 1694. She was likely named after the Isles of Scilly, historically also known as the Sorlings. Vessels of this size and rating in the late 17th century typically served as dispatch vessels, conveyed messages, or were used for coastal patrol. Due to her relatively low rating, she would not have participated in major fleet actions but rather performed auxiliary roles. Specific details regarding her construction, service history (including captains, voyages, and actions), and ultimate fate are currently limited in accessible historical records. Further research into archival sources would be required to provide a more comprehensive account of the ship's career.
