'Warspite' was built launched in 1807 as a 74-gun two-decker. In 1840 her second remodelling reduced her to a one-deck, 50-gun frigate, as shown here, for service on the home station. Lord John Hay commanded her between 1841 and 1845, visiting New York in 1842 to take Lord Ashburton to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. She was then used for anti-piracy patrols in the Mediterranean until finally decommissioned in 1846.
