Background:
HMS Swallow was a 54-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built at Deptford Dockyard and launched on 10 February 1703. The HMS Swallow was rebuilt according to the 1706 Establishment at Chatham Dockyard, and was relaunched on 25 March 1719. Captain Chaloner Ogle commanded the Swallow in the Atlantic waters and off the West African coast beginning 1721. The following year, she engaged and defeated several pirate ships. These ships were all under the commander Bartholomew Roberts, who was eventually killed, and Ogle received a knighthood for his actions. After receiving knighthood, Captain Sir Chaloner Ogle was given subsequent orders to sail the Swallow to Port Royal in the Caribbean and return home for additional orders. The ship has been docked since and is currently being fitted for battle. She has been placed under the command of Captain Anthony Carter of the St. George Squadron of the White.

Engagements:
The HMS Swallow is currently docked at Island Harbor and routinely conducts patrols in the area against the Dread Saints pirate faction.
