  • The Kentish.

    From the site mentioned by David Bell.

    Kentish, built Johnson at Deptford 1652 and wrecked in 1672.

  • Cool, and there’s some history to the fact that Sam calls it the “Kent,” and that it was launched as the “Kentish.”

    This 601 ton frigate *HMS Kentish*, built the same year as the Parliamentary victory at Kentish Knock, was I guess named after that victory.

    It was renamed to *HMS Kent* upon the Restoration in 1660.

    Wrecked near Cromer in 1672, alas.
