{{Expand Spanish|HMS_Swift_(1762)|date=May 2018}}{{other ships|HMS Swift}}HMS Swift was built in 1762 at the shipyard of John Greave in Limehouse, on the banks of the River Thames, and launched in 1763. It was a sloop-of-war {{convert|28|m|ft}} in length and was armed with 14 {{convert|6|pdr}} guns and 12 pedreros of {{frac|1|2}} pound. It sank along the coast of Puerto Deseado, Argentina in 1770.[1]

The discovery of HMS Swift in Puerto Deseado represented the beginning of underwater archaeology in Argentina.[2]

The wreck

Based at Port Egmont in the Falkland Islands, Swift undertook an exploratory trip along the Patagonian coasts before the winter of 1770. A storm forced them to stop near the site of present-day Puerto Deseado to rest and dry their clothes. Entering the Río Deseado, they ran aground on a submerged rock and, although after getting rid of much of the cargo, they managed to free the ship, minutes later they came across a second uncharted rock. At 18:00 on 13 March 1770, Swift sank. Three of the ninety-one crew members (the cook and two soldiers) died. The cook's body appeared days later and he was buried after an impromptu funeral.[3][4]
