Rosario's capture produced a prestigious prisoner and a valuable hull, but the ship did not have a celebrated English fighting career. She passed through Torbay and Dartmouth before reaching Chatham, where she was dry-docked and retained for years. The English eventually sank her to support a wharf. This was a practical use for an aging prize once active service no longer justified the expense.
