History
The ship took part in the naval battle off Salvador, where she sailed under the English-born Frigate Captain John Taylor and became notorious for chasing the fleeing Portuguese fleet across the Atlantic to the mouth of the river Tagus.[3] Later, the vessel sailed under Captain of Sea-and-War James Norton in the Cisplatine War, being Norton's flagship in the battle of Lara-Quilmes, where she took William Brown's frigate 25 de Mayo out of action, which eventually led to its sinking.[3]
The vessel was officially decommissioned in 1836, after years of serving as a structure in the port of Rio de Janeiro.[3]
