Notes: 'Perlen' various spellings (Pearl) 5th rate, 38 Danish, Captured at Copenhagen 7 September 1807. Broken up 1832. Hardingham is on the ship's pay book as a purser. He was sent to Antigua Hospital and discharged dead 29 September 1810. 48 men died during late summer and early autumn that year. The ship's commander Lieutenant Nicholas Bell was 'Invalided for a colder climate'. This suggests that Hardingley died of a tropical disease such as yellow fever.
