I have inherited a hand blown wine glass with "Success to the Eagle" etched over an old ship. Any ideas which 'Eagle' this may be? I am from the Portsmouth area in the UK. Thanks

Very difficult to help without a picture. There where some Eagle in the RN from 1679 till 1860.

The best known EAGLE was probably Rodney's ship built in 1746 and in which he made his early reputation. He was a free spender when he wasn't dodging his creditors.
