Blocks of HMS Invincible (1744) in situ

On 19 February 1758 Invincible was preparing to leave for Novia Scotia to fight the French.

The crew “hove” the anchor up but it got stuck and broke their capstan (winding equipment). The crew tried to fix the capstan and “hove” some more. The anchor got stuck under the bow of the ship. Now they had not anchor. The Captain found out the ship’s rudder was also stuck. And now they had lost their steering too.

The ship drifted off and got stuck on Dean Sands. The crew tried again and again to refloat the ship, but it was too late. The crew fired cannons and hoisted a light to send out a distress signal and call for help. Three days later, the ship capsized and water poured into the ship, everyone abandoned her and she was declared lost.

The Invincible still lies where she sank, over 260 years later.
