HSwMS Södermanland (1693)

HSwMS Södermanland was a ship of the line of the Royal Swedish Navy, built in Karlskrona in 1693. During the Battle of Fehmarn, she was captured by Admiral Christian Wilhelm Gabel and subsequently commissioned into the Royal Dano-Norwegian Navy as HDMS Sydermanland. After an unsuccessful rebuilding in the 1740s, she was presented to the Danish Asiatic Company for use as an East Indiaman.
