HMS Senegal
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Two vessels that served the Royal Navy have been named Senegal:
- Senegal was launched at Rotherhithe on 26 December 1760 as a 14-gun sloop of 292 tons (bm). She grounded while attempting to enter the harbour at Canso, Nova Scotia, on 22 August 1764 and foundered while being towed into the harbour.[1]
- Senegal was a sloop of 183 tons (formerly named the Racehorse) that the Royal Navy purchased in 1777 and armed with 16 guns. The French captured her on 15 August 1778.[2] HMS Zephyr recaptured her on 2 November 1780 off the Gambia River, but she blew up by accident at Gorée on 22 November.[3][4]
