HMS Unicorn, static display model, ayous wood, plank on frame construction, 76 x 76cm.
HMS Unicorn was designed as one of the successful LEDA class frigates, whose lines were based on a French frigate HEBE, captured in 1782. Her keel was laid in February 1822 on No. 4 slip in the Royal Dockyard at Chatham and she was launched on 30 March 1824. She was roofed over immediately and laid up in reserve, or 'ordinary', as it was then called and so she remained.
She is now a museum ship in Dundee and is one the six oldest ships in the world.
