HMS St Albans was a 60-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard to the draught specified by the 1745 Establishment, and launched on 23 December 1747. She saw service against France in the Seven Years' War. On July 1758 she was off the coast of Toulon when she captured a French merchant vessel, the 36-gun Loire carrying a thousand tons of food, wine and flour for France's colony in Quebec. The captured ship and her 300-man crew were conveyed under guard to the British port of Gibraltar.
