Triumph was a 42-gun great ship or second rate warship of the Navy of the Kingdom of England, built by William Burrell (the Master Shipwright to the East India Company) at Deptford Royal Dockyard and launched in 1623. Like many major warships in the 17th century, she was modified at various times during her life, so that her dimensions and tonnage grew during her 65 years of service.
By 1660 her original armament had been increased to 64 guns and by 1666 to 72 guns.
