In between she was instrumental in the seizure of the Danish island of Anholt, captured prizes in the Channel during the Napoleonic Wars, sailed to the East Indies and South America, participated in the suppression of the slave trade, and served as a prison hulk in Gibraltar before she was sold in 1884.

[6] Early in May 1809, Vice-admiral Sir James Saumarez, the British commander-in-chief in the Baltic, sent a squadron, consisting of the 64-gun third rate Standard, Owen Glendower, three sloops (Avenger, Ranger, and Rose), and the gun-brig Snipe.

[7] Anholt was small and essentially barren; its significance rested in the lighthouse that stood on its easternmost point.

The Danes had extinguished it at the outbreak of hostilities between Britain and Denmark; the point of capturing the island was to restore the lighthouse to its function to assist British men-of-war and merchantmen in the Kattegat.

[6] Then on 1 October Owen Glendower, with Persian in company,[10] was escorting a convoy off The Lizard in thick fog.

[10] Selby died aboard Owen Glendower on 28 March 1811 whilst at the Cape of Good Hope .

[13] Edward Henry A'Court, newly promoted to post-captain on 29 March, took temporary command of Owen Glendower.

[6] In May 1814 off the Nicobar Islands, Owen Glendower captured a U.S. privateer, the 12 or 16-gun vessel Hyder Ally, which had a crew of 30.

She arrived in Rio de Janeiro on 19 December after a record 33-day voyage that included a 24-hour stop in Funchal, Madeira.

She then sailed for Montevideo and Buenos Aires where Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy was waiting to make her his flagship.

She stayed in Buenos Aires for some time, but then sailed to St Helena on a fact-finding mission to report on the conditions under which Napoleon was living while in captivity.

Owen Glendower rounded Cape Horn despite bad weather and arrived in Valparaiso on 22 January 1821.

Spencer was under orders to find Captain William Henry Shirreff of Andromache, who was a close friend of Lord Cochrane.

(Cochrane was commander of the insurgent Chilean Navy in the fight for Chile's independence form Spain).

During the attack, Spencer moved Owen Glendower to expose a Chilean vessel that had tried to take cover behind her.

Owen Glendower underwent a refit that included rebuilding the stern that Sir Robert Sepping had given her.

[23] Returning to Africa following an outbreak of yellow fever, Mends defended the Cape Coast against the threatened attack by the Ashanti.

A letter dated 16 March 1824 from Major J. Chisholm, administrator of the colonial government and commander of the British troops on the Gold Coast, praised Owen Glendower and Captain Woolcombe for her role in suppressing unrest and possible insurrection at Elmina.

[26] On 19 May 1824 Owen Glendower, under Captain Prickett, who also commanded the Naval Squadron, landed seamen and marines to occupy the forts on the coast while the army moved against the Ashanti.

[27] One of the officers on Owen Glendower during her time with the West Africa Squadron was Cheesman Henry Binstead.

On 10 March 1826, 19 sailors from Owen Glendower drowned in a boating accident at Simon's Bay when her pinnace swamped.

[6] She then sailed from Chatham for Gibraltar in October with 200 convicts for work on the development of the Dockyard and the construction of a new breakwater there.
