}} | Adventure was a 34-gun fourth-rate frigate of the English Royal Navy, built by Peter Pett II at Woolwich and launched in 1646.[1] The term 'frigate' during the period of this ship referred to a method of construction, rather than a role which did not develop until the following century. Ship planUsed on Bulstrode Whitelocke's embassy to Sweden 1653-1654. [2] By 1677 her armament had been increased to 40 guns.[1] Adventure was rebuilt as a 44-gun fourth rate at Chatham Dockyard in 1691. She was captured by the French off Martinique, in the West Indies on 1 March 1709.[3] Notes1. ^1 2 Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol. 1, p. 159.
