Signed by William Symonds [Surveyor of the Navy, 1832-1848].

Pencil annotation: 'A tracing showing the alterations of the Light (A) as shifted to (B) sent out to the Alarm on the 13th Nov'r 1845'.

Malacca was suspended in 1841, named in 1843 and the name transferred to a screw sloop building at Moulmeim, Burma in 1848, effectively cancelling the order to this design.
