Maritime History

HMS Roebuck (1690)

HMS Roebuck was a fifth-rate warship in the Royal Navy which, under the command of William Dampier, carried the first British scientific expedition to Australia in 1699. It sank in early 1701. The wreck of the ship has since been located by a team from the WA Maritime Museum at a site on the coast of Ascension Island where it foundered more than 300 years ago.
