Ned Loe Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Is this ship real? History: The HMS Dauntless was one of the strongest ships in the British Royal Navy serving under King George II, most notably under the command of Commodore James Norrington. As one of the Empire's premiere warships and renowned pride of the Royal Navy, this ship was agile, fast, and carried 100 guns.

Thomas Blackwell Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Does anyone else think the Dauntless (Endeavour) is an ugly ship? :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Flint Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Does anyone else think the Dauntless (Endeavour) is an ugly ship? :\ I do. She is not a real ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 They went and built a model of it? That's just sad. You can tell at a glance that that monstrosity is a work of fiction. Ugly doesn't even cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Connor Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm assuming they based her on the Victory but there are some changes, all of them bad. The stern gallery has been moved up about 4-5 feet to make the quarterdeck taller and more galleon-like, meaning the decks no longer line up with the stern gallery windows. You'd have half a window at ceiling level and the other half at floor level of the next deck up. Bow has been moved up too, general proportions of hull and masts are off and she has no tumblehome, the hull sides instead curve outwards above the waterline making the weatherdeck almost as broad as the waterline itself. Combined with the rest of the design would make her absurdly top heavy, I'm not even sure she could stay upright in calm weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 i rather pick the HMS Royal William (1719) over this abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE_MAN Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I quite like that ship in the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Admiral Karla Fous Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yeah but HMS Dauntless and HMS Endeavour are completely diffrent ships. Dauntless was sunk in hurricane. And Endeavour was sunk by Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman. Here are links for both ships: https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/HMS_Dauntless https://pirates.fandom.com/wiki/HMS_Endeavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
