HMS Euryalus (1803)

HMS Euryalus was a 36-gun Apollo-class frigate of the Royal Navy which served in the Napoleonic Wars and War of 1812. Launched in 1803, during her career she was commanded by three prominent British naval officers of the Napoleonic era: Henry Blackwood, George Heneage Lawrence Dundas and Charles John Napier. Following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Euryalus continued on active service for a number of years, before spending more than two decades as a prison hulk. She ended her career in Gibraltar where, in 1860, she was sold for breaking up.
