HMS Unicorn

30 Aug 2023 4 3 158
HMS Unicorn was built for the Royal Navy in the Royal Dockyard at Chatham and launched in 1824. She is a rare survivor from the days of sail, one of the six oldest ships in the world and Scotland's only representative of the sailing navy. Originally constructed as a 46-gun frigate at Chatham Royal Dockyard, Unicorn arrived in Dundee in 1873 as a training ship for the Royal Naval Reserves - a role she carried out until the 1960s. In 1968 the ship passed to the Unicorn Preservation Society which continues to care for and preserve the vessel.

Jackup drilling platforms on the Tay at Dundee. The nearest platform is the Valaris 121 which was built in 2013 and is registered in Liberia. Designed to operate in the harsh environment of the North Sea the platform can be lifted up over 350ft on its legs. It is currently at work on the gas field off Bridlington.

Twenty one chimneypots in Dundee! I am advised that the square style of pot is uncommon in Scotland. It is certainly rare to find a matching set these days.
