Niels Terkildsen Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) It's worth mentioning that it was intended as a "lastdragerfregat", which is a heavy frigate capable of carrying cargo - to be used for transporting supplies and also in this case carrying presents to the Barbary States in the Mediterranean. It was intended to carry 18- and 8-pounders in the service, but when it was loaned (and later sold) to the East India (China) trade, it was changed to 8- and 4-pounders (26 8-pounders on the upper deck, 12 4-pounders on the quarter deck, and 4 4-pounders on the forecastle - two of which were to be bow chasers). Picture of the beautiful 1:48 model built 1948-50 by E. Werge, Orlogsværftet, and in the exhibition at the Maritime Museum of Elsinore: And my own pictures of the model: http://imgur.com/a/ktZ0R EDIT: Extra plans for the ship (and copies etc.) and a "plan" for the lanterns ^^: File from the Danish National Archive: Edited October 3, 2016 by Niels Terkildsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdguards Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 an interesting ship, would definetly be an interesting addition, especially if it lives up to its duty of being a frigate that can carry cargo, maybe a cross in between a LGV and a Indiaman,. But the name though, whats it supposed to be named after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Terkildsen Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It's named after the "Disco Bay", that had seen an increase in trade and whaling activity shortly before the ship was built. (Danish speakers can read more here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
