From Wikipedia.
Yesterday, in Part 4 of Prisoner of the British, the American was placed on the storeship Malabar upon arrival in England.
The HMS Malabar was commissioned in 1804 and was a 56 gun 5th rate warship, previously the East Indiaman Cuvera. It was purchased by the British government in 1804 and rebuilt as a 20-gun store ship in 1806. It was renamed the HMS Cotomandel in 1815 and transported convicts to Australia in 1819.
From 1828-1853 it served as a prison in Bermuda and was broken up in 1853.
