The ''Hercules'' was a Dutch 68-gun third rate ship of the line of the navy of the Dutch Republic, the Batavian Republic, and the Royal Navy. The order to construct the ship was given by the Admiralty of the Meuse in 1781.〔J.F. Fischer Fzn. ''De Delft: De dagjournalen met de complete en authentieke geschiedenis van 's Lands schip van oorlog Delft en de waarheid over de zeeslag bij Camperduin'' (Franeker: Van Wijnen, 1997), 135.〕 In 1795, the ship was commissioned in the Batavian Navy. On 11 October 1797 the ''Hercules'' took part in the Battle of Camperdown under Captain G.J. van Rijsoort. Fire broke out on the ship, and she was eventually captured by the British and renamed HMS ''Delft'', in honour of the brave resistance this ship made in the battle.〔J.F. Fischer Fzn. ''De Delft: De dagjournalen met de complete en authentieke geschiedenis van 's Lands schip van oorlog Delft en de waarheid over de zeeslag bij Camperduin'' (Franeker: Van Wijnen, 1997), 394.〕 In 1799, the ''Delft'' served as a troop transport ship. She became a prison hulk in 1802, and in 1822 she was sunk to serve as a breakwater close to the town of Harwich.〔J.F. Fischer Fzn.
