HMS Carnatic was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 21 January 1783 at Deptford Wharf.[1] The British East India Company paid for her construction and presented her to the Royal Navy.[2]

Sometime prior to 16 September, 1799 the American schooner "Violet" was capsized and sunk by a waterspout at (27°30′N 62°00′W / 27.500°N 62.000°W / 27.500; -62.000). 14 days later they were rescued by Carnatic. Four perished during the ordeal.[3]

On 17 May 1815, the Admiralty renamed her HMS Captain. Captain was broken up on 30 September 1825.[1]
