Olof Cederström Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Can it be HMS Euryalus built in 1803? https://img1.etsystatic.com/034/0/9030274/il_fullxfull.613536659_k1q4.jpg Edited June 5, 2015 by Olof Rudolf Cederström Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Definitely French-built, with that tumblehome. Probably a rather old ship by Trafalgar, with the complete lack of barricades and (possibly?) old-fashioned beak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Connor Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's the Belle Poule. Or possibly one of her sisterships, but probably the Belle Poule as none of the other 3 were famous. None of them were at Trafalgar though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surcouf Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I saw. But some colors are not good, it's not important but if the boat is testing, so put the right colors. Low mast (mainmast and foremast) must be white. Also mast bowsprit. The bridge structures (ladder, bitts, capstan, etc.) must be in red ocher. The bulwark in bleu azure. But also, the anchors of cat head are in the right place. It lacks the smooth railing (English term?) of the seaman's head, and the net. Remove the footboard of the yard under the upper topsail mizain (is that the right term?) Missing strapping iron mast bowsprit. The gunport has the extreme forward should not be armed. Neither the two gunports at the rear. The chainplates of the mizzen mast are too lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caswyn StGeorge Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 What to say.... "Envoûtant".. damn those "french frogs" surely could made frigates. (And of course you guys here at Game Labs) Can't wait to "get my hands on the ship" I'm sure that de developers and makers did search for details but here is alittle gallery of the Belle Poule model my by Bernard Frölich: http://modelisme.arsenal.free.fr/artdumodelisme/La%20Belle%20Poule/indexgb.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Terkildsen Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Shouldn't the window frames attached to the ports of the two cabin guns be removed before battle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Shouldn't the window frames attached to the ports of the two cabin guns be removed before battle? Yes, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
