The Santa Barbara was a prison hulk, one of the prizes captured in Rodney's action off Cadiz in 1780 and kept rotting at her moorings, mastless, ever since, a storeship in time of peace and a prison in time of war. Захваченная родни в Кадисе, она с 1780 года так и гнила без мачт, на приколе, в мирное время — склад, в военное — тюрьма.
