Renamed HMS Athenian by the British in 1801.

Wrecked in 1806..

 

Dimensions & tons: 163'3", 132' x 44'9" x 19'8". 1411 89/94.

Men : 491.

Guns : GD 26 x 20, UD 26 x 18, QD 2 x 9 + 8 x 24 * [carronades], FC 2 x 9 + 4 x 24* [carronades].

Comments (in french)

Le plan ("taken off") du vaisseau HMS Athenian, ex-Athénien (selon Demerliac) ou L'Athénienne (selon Lyon) français, ex-Saint Jean ou San Giovanni maltais (Lyon, Sailing Navy Ship List, p.240)

 
Commentaire de Lyon:
Athenian 1800-1806 (French L'Athénienne taken 1798 from the Knights of St. John at Malta as Saint Jean/San Giovanni [70] building 1796. Malta) 64.
Dimensions & tons: 163'3", 132' x 44'9" x 19'8". 1411 89/94.
Men: 491. Guns: GD 26 x 20, UD 26 x 18, QD 2 x 9 + 8 x 24 * [carronades], FC 2 x 9 + 4 x 24* [carronades]. Taken at the surrender of Malta; 27.10.1806 wrecked off Sicily.
 
L'armement paraît être celui des Anglais. Selon Demerliac, Nomenclature 1792-1800, p.64, N°338, le vaisseau fut pris sur cale et lancé en décembre 1799 seulement: port: 1200 tx, déplacement en charge: environ 2300 tx. Longueur: 156 (quille: 140) x 42 x 20'2" et 19'6"/20'6". Off. + 600 hommes. Armement 64/70 canons: 26 xx, 26/28 xii?, 12/16 petit calibre

 

 

Other sources : http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=15025 gives 1789 as building date.

A quick reminder about the requirements for ship nomination posts:

  • 1 ship per post
  • only submit ships for which building plans are available
  • any additional views (models, paintings, photographs?, etc) are a definite plus.

Other than that:

if you have any other ships you would like to nominate, now is the time! Because my guess is that the Player ship selection 1st Half 2016 nomination round is going to close sooner rather than later. The next step will be the first round of voting.

24*18-pounders

12*6-pounders

 

Length p/p:  137' (danish feet)

breadth    :    36' 6'

 

Danish frigate project by F. Krabbe, dated 1770, not built. 

Like Chapman´s big privateers (ANM, plate XXXI, XXXIII), it features an unusually heavy armarment for it´s time (France and England started building the first heavy frigates in the late 1770s/early 1780s). Another interesting particularity is the presence of a flush deck.

 

As with all of Krabbe´s designs, the hull shape shows a substantial french influence.

26*18-pounders

10*6-pounders

 

Length p/p:   138' 6' (danish feet)

Breadth:         36' 8'

 

Danish 18-pounder frigate concept, this time by R. Phil, dated 1808, not built.

 

Like Hohlenberg´s ships, it has a very narrow stern and a V-shaped hull, not a very common feature for frigates until the 1820s (besides Forfait´s ships and it´s french and british derivates)

The text says it´s been designed with the 'nye arimetisk Constructions Methode', which I assume is Chapman´s parabola method.
