}} | HMS Portland was a 50-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Woolwich Dockyard on 28 March 1693.[1]She was rebuilt according to the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth, and was relaunched on 25 February 1723. She was present at Wager's Action a naval confrontation on 8 June 1708 N.S (28 May O.S.), between a British squadron under Charles Wager and the Spanish treasure fleet, as part of the War of Spanish Succession.[3] On 17 March 1709, Portland recaptured Coventry, which the 54-gun Auguste and the 54-gun Jason (1704) had captured in September 1704.[4] Portland was broken up in 1743.[5]Notes1. ^1 Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p164.
