Sella Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Loudovikos was a corvette of the Hellenic Navy built in 1838 at the Poros Naval Shipyard, designed by naval architect Georgios Tombazis. It was a relatively large ship (length 44.1 m, 1000-ton displacement), was armed with two 22-lb plus four 20-lb long guns, and twenty-four 32-lb carronades, and had a crew of 182. The ship was not operationally utilized, and since 1846 it was used as a training ship (renamed Messolongion in 1862). It officially remained in service with the Hellenic Navy until 1873. Lenght:44.1 metersWidth:11.7 metersDraft:4.5 metersTonnage:1016 tonsCrew: 182 Armamament: 2 x 22 pounder guns 4 x 20 pounder long guns 24 x 32 pounder carronades I know its a bit off the cut off period but not by that much.

Bart Smith Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Nice ship but out of time frame i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sella Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yes it is but not by that much and i think that the design is not that modern for the time it was launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelSandwich Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 the end of time frame is about 1810-1820, 1838 is rather heavily out of scope unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sella Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Unfortunately yes,she was launched kinda late but as I said in a previous post the design is not that modern at all.The museum researcher that I asked about the plans said the same thing.Especially if you consider that sail ships were starting to get replaced by steam ships. Also I think that we don't have many corvette plans kicking around so just give her a chance D: Getting the plans for her was really hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
