The ship was originally named Cesarea and was built in the Venice Arsenal from 1829 to 1833 . The keel was laid in November 1829 and the ship was launched on June 13, 1833. It was under the direction of Lieutenant Gaetano Bognolo.
The ship was between a schooner and a brig in size . It was decided during the construction phase to equip it as a small corvette ( Corvettina ) with three masts due to the planned training tasks . In 1845 it was the flagship of Venice, served as a guard ship and for the port admiral's representation. In 1848/1849 the ship served as a floating battery in Trieste , moored between the jetties because it was no longer seaworthy. On November 18, 1849, the ship was renamed Titania and from 1850 onwards it was equipped or converted and used to train cadets of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. In 1850/1851 it was under the command of Ferdinand Julius Wedel-Jarlsberg as a training ship . From July 1850 Wilhelm von Tegetthoff was stationed on the Titania . In 1855 the ship was drawn by Josef Natti, a pupil of the Naval Academy. In 1859 the ship was dismantled and sunk to block the entrance to Malamocco .
