A replica was built in 1970, then modified to match HMS Surprise, and used in two films, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

She was briefly considered for service as Captain James Cook's vessel on his first exploration of the Pacific, but was rejected as unable to stow the quantity of provisions required for the planned circumnavigation of the globe.

[2] Instead she was sent to the North American station, en route to which she encountered Cook's ultimate choice of vessel, HMS Endeavour, on 12 September 1768 when the two ships anchored alongside each other at Funchal in the Madeira Islands.

[3] In 1774, Rose, under the command of Sir James Wallace, was sent to Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island to put an end to the rampant smuggling that had made Newport the fourth wealthiest city in America.

In July 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, Rose took part in the British invasion of New York, firing on fortifications and making forays far up the Hudson River along with HMS Phoenix.

She also patrolled the rest of the northeast coast of America, suppressing efforts by American ships to engage in trade and pressing their sailors into Royal Navy service, and providing logistical support for the British garrison in Boston.

[7] In 2001, she was purchased by Fox Studios, sailed to Southern California, and altered to resemble HMS Surprise for the Peter Weir movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, based on the books by Patrick O'Brian.
