Product Description
HMS Unicorn, Leda class frigate, in the never completed original configuration with full rig and armament.
The ship was launched in 1824, when shipbuilding was going through a period of transition due to scarcity of suitable woods. Therefore she differed somewhat from the rest of the class since Unicorn was built with a round stern, the stern gallery being smaller and rather different than the much more elaborate older kind.
Since the frigate was completed shortly after the Napoleonic wars had ended, the vessel never fully entered service and was never fully rigged. Unicorn was towed to Dundee where the deck was covered up by a roofed superstructure and put in ordinary (in more modern parlance, laid up in reserve). She served as a hulk and depot ship for about 14 decades, until the 1960s thoughts were given to convert her in a museum ship, and she still resides in Dundee to this day.
One of her sisters, HMS Trincomalee, was restored to full rig and is now part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Hartlepool.
