The picture to the right of this post showed both the HMS Albion, which I have been writing about, and the HMS Asia in 1828.
I found out that ship also participated in the War of 1812.
From Wikipedia.
There was an earlier HMS Asia, which participated in the American Revolution.
The HMS Asia was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line in the British Royal Navy. Launched on December 2, 1811 at Frindsbury.
It was 176 feet long with a 47.6 foot beam.
THE WAR OF 1812
On 26 July 1813, the Asia sailed from Negril as an escort for a convoy going to London.
