HMS Bombay (1805)

HCS "Bombay", later HMS "Bombay" and HMS "Ceylon", was a 672 ton fifth rate, 38 gun wooden warship built in the Bombay Dockyard for the Honourable East India Company and launched in 1793. The Royal Navy purchased her in 1805 and renamed her HMS "Bombay". She served with them under that name, and from 1 July 1808 as HMS "Ceylon", until 1857. From c.1838 to 1852 she was the receiving ship at Malta, and from 1853 to 1855 the flagship of the Admiral superintendent there (Rear-Admiral Montagu Stopford and Admiral Houston Stewart [ [http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=96 Biography of Houston Stewart R.N ] ] during this period).
