'''[[{{HMS|Malabar (|1818)|HMS ''Malabar'']]6}}''' was a 74-gun [[ship of the line]] of the [[Royal Navy]], launched in 1818 at [[Bombay Dockyard (Royal Navy)|Bombay Dockyard]]. In 1838, ''Malabar'' ran aground off [[Prince Edward Island]] in British North America and was damaged, with the loss of two crew members. She was refloated later that year and towed into [[Trois-Rivières|Three Rivers]] in [[Lower Canada]]. In August 1843, ''Malabar'', under the command of [[George Sartorius|Sir George Sartorius]], assisted in fighting a fire that destroyed the [[United States Navy]] sidewheel frigate [[{{USS|Missouri (|1841)|USS ''Missouri'']]6}} at [[Gibraltar]], taking aboard about 200 of that ship's survivors. ''Malabar'' was converted to a [[Hulk (ship type)|hulk]] in 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and was renamed ''Myrtle'' in 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in 1905. This [[lithography|lithograph]] from around 1843 shows the crew of ''Malabar'' watching as ''Missouri'' explodes and burns in the distance.
