The Frigate Unicorn
His Majesty's Frigate UNICORN,
of 46 guns, was built for the Royal Navy in Chatham dockyard, and she was
launched in 1824. The classic sailing frigate was a fast and powerful warship, and was one
of the most successful and charismatic ship designs of the age.
UNICORN's construction, however, is far from conventional. She is
a unique survivor from the brief transitional period between the traditional
wooden sailing ship and the revolutionary iron steamship.
Verdant Works is a 19th century jute mill in Dundee, winner of European Industrial Museum of the Year 1999.
