On 11 November 1804, Glatton, together with Eagle, Majestic, Princess of Orange, Raisonable, Africiane, Inspector, Beaver, and the hired armed vessels Swift and Agnes, shared in the capture of the Upstalsboom, H.L. De Haase, Master.[Note 1]
In 1830 she was reduced to a 50-gun ship, and became a training ship in 1860. She was renamed HMS Eaglet in 1918, when she was the Royal Naval Reserve training centre for North West England. A fire destroyed Eagle in 1926.[1]

gollark: No, it's right. The reals are countable. This is known.
