HMS Pallas was a 32-gun fifth rate Thames-class frigate of the Royal Navy launched in 1804 at Plymouth.
Pallas was one of the seven Thames class frigates ordered for the fleet in early 1804. Her keel was laid at Plymouth Dockyard in June 1804 and she was launched on the afternoon of 17 November the same year along with her sister-ship HMS Circe. Pallas entered service in January 1805, under the command of Lord Cochrane.

“On January 21st Pallas weighed anchor and made sail, there was a light easterly breeze which died away as they headed out into Plymouth Sound and they were forced to anchor for the night. Next morning they sent the pilot ashore and headed out into the channel. It was a cold, crisp January day with a fresh breeze stretching the new sails and blowing the occasional salt spray across the newly laid pine decks. For a while the slender column of Smeatons Eddistone Lighthouse was clearly visible on their Starboard beam” They proceeded to the Azores.
