HMS Montagu, sometimes spelled Montague, was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 August 1779 at Chatham Dockyard.[1]
Montagu took part in the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1780 and the Glorious First of June in 1794.
On 30 October 1794 Montagu and Ganges captured the French corvette Jacobin. Jacobin was armed with twenty-four 12-pounder guns, and had a crew of 223 men; she was nine days out of Brest and taken nothing.[3] The Royal Navy took Jacobin into service as HMS Matilda.
