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] In 1843, the Malabar assisted in rescuing survivors of the USS Missouri fire while in Gibraltar. 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.[2]
