''HMS Madagascar'' was a 46-gun fifth-rate ''Seringapatam''-class frigate, built at Bombay and launched on 15 November 1822. The Bavarian Prince Otto who had been selected as the King of Greece was delivered by the ''Madagascar'' to his new capital Nafplion in 1833. In 1843, the ''Madagascar'' was assigned to suppress the slave trade, which was illegal in Britain. Operating of the west African coast, it successfully detained the Portuguese slave schooner Feliz (detained 1837), The Brazilian slave ships Ermelinda Segunda (detained 1842), Independencia (1843), Prudentia (1843) and Loteria (1843) and the Spanish slave brigantine Roberto (1842), along with 2 other vessels of which the nationalities were not recorded. In 1848, the ship was made a storeship first in Devonport and then at Rio de Janeiro after 1853. It was eventually sold in 1863.〔http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/18-1900/M/02814.html〕 ==Commanding officers== * 1830—the Honorable Sir Robert Spencer, second son of the Earl of Spencer died aboard ship in Malta. * 1830-1834—Captain Edmund Lyons * 1838-1839—Provo Wallis, KCB, East Indies * 1840—Out of Commission * 1841—1844—Captain John Foote, west coast of Africa * 1847—Robert Mann * 1853—John William Finch, storeship, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil * 1855—John Ptolemy Thurburn, storeship, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil * 1856—John Mortimer Leycester, storeship, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil * 1859-1863—Vice Admiral Richard Dunning White, CB, storeship, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil〔http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowShip.php?id=1714〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Madagascar (1822)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
