Admiralty orders of June 4, 1816 directed her to be built as a facsimile of H.M.S. Canopus (the ex-French ship Franklin, which had fought at the Battle of the Nile). This vessel was the last sailing line-of-battle ship in active commission on foreign service. This vessel was flagship of Rear Admiral Baynes on Pacific station 1857-1860. Broken up in 1930.
