The choice of Royal George as the name for this famous Crown Devon pattern was not
accidental. It was named after and eighteenth century 100 gun galleon of the same name that foundered at Spithead with a loss of around 1400 lives on the 29th August 1792.
Royal George was a featured pattern on early Lustrine and continued in various permutations until the 1960s
