Fate
Liverpool carried on serving in the East Indies Station and made a trip to China under Collier. Collier then transferred to Seringapatam, a newly built vessel, and brought her home, arriving on 16 October 1820. Liverpool returned to the Persian Gulf in August 1821, where she lost a number of her crew to the heat. She was paid off at Bombay in January 1822. Liverpool's captain, officers and crew then transferred to the newly-built Ganges and sailed her back to Spithead, arriving on 6 October 1822.
Liverpool was then sold at Bombay on 16 April 1822 for £3,780. The buyer apparently was a Persian prince who wanted to use her to suppress piracy in the Gulf.
