From Wikipedia.
Built at Plymouth Dockyard and completed 21 June 1810. Sold for breaking up in 1897 (a long time for a ship). Lively-class 38-gun frigate. 154 feet long, 284 crew.
Original commander Captain Peter Parker whose father was son of Admiral Peter Parker and mother was daughter of Vice Admiral John Bryon. Killed at the battle of Caulk's Field.
This started sounding familiar and I looked the ship and Peter Parker up in my labels. I've written a lot about them. See HMS Menelaus, Parker Peter and Battle of Caulk's Field.
