HMS Hannibal (1810)

HMS Hannibal was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, built by Adams of Bucklers Hard and launched in May 1810.

On 26 March 1814, Hannibal, HMS Hebrus (1813), and HMS Sparrow (1805) encountered two French frigates, the Sultane and the Etoile, which were returning from the Cape Verde Islands and a cruise of commerce raiding. Hannibal set off after Sultane and sent Hebrus and Sparrow after Etoile. Both French vessels were captured the next day. HMS Hannibal (1810) captured Sultane, without a fight. HMS Hebrus (1813) captured Étoile, but only after severe fighting.

She was used for harbour service from August 1825. Hannibal was broken up in December 1833 at Pembroke Dock.
