HMS Pembroke was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 27 June 1812 at Blackwall Yard.[1]
She was fitted with screw propulsion in 1855, transferred to the Coastguard in 1858, and used as a base ship from 1887.
She was renamed HMS Forte as a receiving hulk in 1890, and was eventually sold out of the Navy in 1905.[1]
