I'm sure there is as it's surface on the net a few times over the years.
Here's a place to sit while you search... :edit: I just looked up the HMS Royal George. Keel laid in 1747, launched in 1756. Yup 9 years, but the largest warship in the world when launched. Fought some battles, yada yada yada, in 1780 the hull got coppered but then it gets weird. In August of 1782 anchored at Spithead while they were loading supplies for Gibraltar she tipped over and sank... 800 people drowned. What!?!? There was about 1200 crew, 200 to 300 relatives seeing them off, 100 to 200 Ladies of the Point visiting, merchants and traders selling to the sailors, and a number of carpenters doing last minute repairs. The officers had been warned by the ships carpenter it was too far over but they ignored him. They were all acquitted in a court marshal.

Always listen to the carpenter.
