Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was wondering just how many Age of Sail replica ships are afloat in the World,i think there are more than we realise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Månis Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Does it have to be replicas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 No,there arent too many "real" Vessels still afloat though.I suppose we can include those like HMS Victory in Dry Dock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anto Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Here in Spain we have the Santi, its an unaccurate repoduction... it's like a floating pub for tourists... Atleast it look's cool, from the outside. Here you have a few pics: Holy Jesús, I never knew that the pictures I take with my phone would be so big... Could an admin or mod be kind enough to tell me if I need to remove the pics, I didn't knew they were so... oversized. (PD: Can someone tell me how can I make an image a spoiler, so it doesn't take the entire screen to show it) Edited April 5, 2015 by Señor de Antoñanzas 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narva Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I know in Sweden we have the east indiaman replica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6theborg_%28ship%29 And then of course Vasa built between 1626 - 1628 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_%28ship%29 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialLion Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Perhaps a bit early, but there's also a few golden hinds about. This one permanently moored in London. And this one based in Brixham-Devon, Sorry for the large pic . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Månis Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Kalmar Nyckel (Calmare Nyckel ) Built in Holland (1625), bought by The Swedish Southern Company (1628) and was 1 of 2 ships that brought most of the Swedish colonist to New Sweden ( Delaware ) It sunk in late 1600's A replica was built in Delaware in 1997 Maybe add it ingame as a low level / very light tradeship? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas aagaard Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) A bit outside the period since it is a steam ship ... and also not a replica. Edited May 11, 2015 by thomas aagaard 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Le Renard (cutter) La Recouvrance (shooner) L'Hermione (frigate) L'Étoile du Roy (frigate, but I find it very ugly, and that frigate is absolutely not representative of French frigate, that's just my opinion) Edited April 6, 2015 by Surcouf 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yes, L'Étoile du Roy (AKA, Grand Turk) is not a replica of any vessel that every existed. She is a movie prop and highly anachronistic/inaccurate. Very odd to see that photo of Hermione where they have reefed only the main and foretopsails. Normally, you must reef the mizzen topsail first. Maybe she is a slack ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPyrate Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A few good east indiaman examples (I know one was already posted, but I figure having them side by side here is fitting). Friendship of Salem (1797) Amsterdam (1749) Gotheborg (1738) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMyChin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 There are 2 replica models of Endeavour. One here in England and another in Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPyrate Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't think this Endeavour counts... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMyChin Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 That's the scale model at Whitby, the port where the original was built, it's about half the size. There's a full size one on the Tees river, just up the coast from Whitby, though it's not an authentic reconstruction.There's an even smaller scale replica in New Zealand which sailed around Australia too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danius_Ash Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I don't think this Endeavour counts... I believe this is in Whitby, I went too Robin Hood's Bay on Holiday and went on this ship! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf81 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) The Batavia Currently they are building the "Zeven provincien" at the same wharf.

Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 A couple of Years ago the Hansa Kogge Batavia visited Kings Lynn as part of the Hansa Festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
