}} | HMS Malabar was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 28 December 1818 at Bombay Dockyard.[1]Sir W. Montagu was appointed Captain on 25 July 1834, fitting for the Mediterranean, where, and off Lisbon, he continued until ordered home at the close of 1837 for the purpose of being paid off.[2]In 1843, the Malabar under the command of Sir George Sartorius[3] assisted in rescuing survivors of the USS Missouri fire while in Gibraltar.[4] She was hulked in October 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and renamed Myrtle in October 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in July 1905.[5] Notes1. ^1 Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol.1, p. 189.
