Three Royal Navy ships have borne the name HMS Lutin or Lutine, Lutin is French for "the tease" or "tormentress" or more literally "imp", and Lutine indicating the feminine of the noun.
This HMS Lutine was originally a French 32-gun frigate, La Lutine, launched in 1779, which passed to British control in 1793 at the siege of Toulon during the French Revolution. It was rebuilt and recommissioned as a 38-gun battleship for the Royal Navy and put into service with the Royal Navy as HMS Lutine in 1793. It was then retired into duty as a transport ship.
HMS Lutine sailed from Great Yarmouth Roads on the 9th October, 1799 en route to Hamburg with a cargo of gold, silver bars and money but ran aground that night in a great storm on the banks between Terschelling and Vlieland in the Frisian Islands off the Netherlands. The ship was very soon broken into pieces by the heavy breakers and except for 1 man, Mr.Shabbrack, a Notary Public, all 270 crew drowned.
Shortly after the accident, many attempts were made to recover her valuable cargo, sometimes with success and in total, some 120 gold and 60 silver bars are known to have been salvaged, but some 80% remains unfound. The whole sum, which went to the bottom with the wreck, amounted to half a million pounds, of which £299,000 had been uninsured. The Lutine, however, was insured, causing Lloyd´s a lot of financial problems to pay for the damage. Much later on July 17, 1858, the ship’s bell was recovered from the wreckage and found its way to Lloyd’s, becoming a symbol of the insurer’s resolute commitment to insuring shipping around the world. It now hangs in the Lloyd's building in Lime Street.
This plaque has been placed below a long standing plaque referring to the Old Sailors' Home which was placed here when the building was being used as the Tourist Information Office. The Sailors' Home plaque, no.49 in the GYLHAS list, was unveiled in December 2012 and the HMS Lutine plaque was unveiled on 21st March 2016, no.80 in the list. The building is now unoccupied.
