Rattlesnake 1780/1781

Massachusetts Privateer Ship Rattlesnake was designed by John Peck of Boston, Massachusetts, and probably built at Plymouth in 1780.1 She was very lightly built and had no wales, and was reputedly very fast. Rattlesnake appeared as a miniature frigate, with detached quarterdeck and forecastle.

Bonhomme Richard

The first USS Bonhomme Richard, formerly Duc de Duras, was a frigate in the Continental Navy. She was originally an East Indiaman, a merchant ship built in France for the French East India Company in 1765, for service between France and the Orient. She was placed at the disposal of John Paul Jones on February 4, 1779, by King Louis XVI of France as a result of a loan to the United States by French shipping magnate, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray.

Dutch!!! :) One day I dream to sail De Zeven Provinciën, but for now I suggest another one
 
800px-De_Delft.jpg
high res clickable pic under the spoiler

De_Delft.jpg



The Delft was a Dutch 56-gun fourth rate ship of the line of the navy of the Dutch Republic and the Batavian Republic.
Check the rest of wiki info under the spoiler

The order to construct the ship was given on 27 May 1782 by the Admiralty of the Meuse. The ship was commissioned on 16 May 1783 by the United Netherlands Navy.

On 24 December 1787 the Delft set sail on a mission against the Barbary pirates and protected Dutch traders in the Mediterranean.

For the ship's second mission starting 31 May 1793 Theodorus Frederik van Capellen became the new commanding officer. During this mission 75 Dutch slaves were freed from Algiers.

In 1795 the Dutch Republic was conquered by the French and the new Batavian Republic was founded. Delft was initially disarmed by the French (because they feared that it could be used by Orangist rebels) but the ship was later reactivated to participate in the war with Britain. Gerrit Verdooren van Asperen became her captain.

On 11 October 1797 the Delft took part in the Battle of Camperdown. Despite heavy resistance the ship was captured by the British and sank off Scheveningen four days later while being towed to Britain.

Since 2001 work had been underway in Rotterdam to build a replica of the Delft at Historical Shipyard Rotterdams Welvaren (Dutch: Historische werf Rotterdams Welvaren) in Delfshaven, near to the place where the original ship was built.



There is an official museum of the ship - http://www.dedelft.nl/museum , which I hope will provide any info if needed.

Also I've found some plans of ship called Delft (1797) at the Royal Greenwich Museums, althought there is a desription that "'Delft' (1797), a captured Dutch Third Rate, as taken off at Chatham Dockyard in May 1799" in the same time the wiki says Delft was a 4rd rate and "Despite heavy resistance the ship was captured by the British and sank off Scheveningen four days later while being towed to Britain." So there is some strange counter facts...I doubt there were two ships called Delft that fougth in the same year of 1797 and been sunk/captured by Britain...but who knows, maybe it was two different ships? Anyway, plans can be found here - http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/81232.html and http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/81233.html . But I think the best idea will be to ask official museum :)

P.S: BIg Thanks to Alex Connor, this is another Dutch ship, 3-rd rate Hercules.
Also here - http://forum.modelsworld.ru/topic8645.html - you can see a lot of pics of bulding the replica, I love the ship! :wub:

How about the Fredericus Quartus? Its a beautiful first rate ship of the line launched in 1699. She was armed with a 110 guns and had a crew of 950 men.

So would i! But the Sophia Amalia was launched in 1650 putting her before the prefered timeframe... Whereas the Fredericus Quartus was launched in 1699 which is within the prefered limit.

From a game-play stand point we are missing second and fourth rates as well as smaller ships to bridge the gap between snow and Surprise.  Also, it may be appropriate to have the most numerous of the 74's, the French Temeraire Class.  Not needed form a game-play stand point at the moment but a must have for the period.

 

I'd throw my vote to the Christian VII for the second rate, gotta have some Danish ships.

 

Mordaunt will look a bit aged next to the other ships in game.  A razee may be an attractive option.

 

Lastly, now that we have the armed snow we may need to have a brig-sloop to bridge the gap between her and the Surprise.  Though past that point I don't think we have any other options to fill the gap.

This one, with L'Hermione as a close second:

 

Bonhomme Richard

The first USS Bonhomme Richard, formerly Duc de Duras, was a frigate in the Continental Navy. She was originally an East Indiaman, a merchant ship built in France for the French East India Company in 1765, for service between France and the Orient. She was placed at the disposal of John Paul Jones on February 4, 1779, by King Louis XVI of France as a result of a loan to the United States by French shipping magnate, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray.

Danish Christian can be aproved during 2nd rate suggestions, which is now active... And it could be great.

 

Also, if this happens, could be greate to have another one ship here: Le Fleuron 1729

1. Bonhomme Richard from the US.

 

40-58 Guns

 

At time of sinking:

 

40 Guns

6x 18 Pounders

28x 12 Pounders

6x 8 Pounders

 

Theoretical number that can be carrier is 58 max offering stern protection. I think its

 

16x 18 Pounders

10x 8 Pounders

28x 12 Pounders

and 4 more ports "one pair afore the foremost guns near the bow and the other in the Great Cabin at the stern"

 

 

2. The Danish ship Christian VII 1767 with 90 guns would be my second choice, she is really beautiful just not as much as bonhomme richard. :D

Someone has to say that ))  We have a Surprise, so may I propose Indefatigable? :)

 

Indy.jpg

 

HMS Indefatigable (1784)  Ardent-class 64-gun 3rd rate ship of the line.  Razeed to 44 guns between September 1794 and February 1795. 

 

Thanks to C.S. Forester's novels and TV-series Indy is as well-known as the Surprise I guess))

 

Any way, plans are here:

 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
