Last week I spent time walking in the Yorkshire Dales and managed to squeeze in a trip to Hartlepool to visit a very unique historic ship, the Bombay built, Leda class, 38-gun British frigate, HMS Trincomalee, the second oldest warship afloat. link Visits to historic ships like these, beautifully restored to allow the public to get a vivid impression of how these ships looked and what they were like to live and fight in are an excellent way to feed the imagination when it comes to our hobby and to help understand how these ships go together when building models of them, and if you get a chance to visit Trincomalee, which is very similar to Victory and yet very different, I would highly recommend it. link If you would like to get an impression of my visit, then just follow the link to JJ's link JJ |

We've had some grand days out visiting Trincomalee. Some day we'll have to go back. |

Thanks for posting this very nice "visit" for us on the other side of the pond. Jim |

Thanks for posting – a wonderful ship, such a common type at the time, in dozens if not hundreds of accounts & stories, yet so rare now. |

Hi Chaps, thanks for your comments, very much appreciated. Jim – It's always more fun to share these experiences with other like minds and I find helps reinforce my own impressions of the visit. I to have some visiting to do on the other side of the pond, having honeymooned in the States and caught a fleeting glimpse of the Constitution in Boston, I'm very keen to go back and see her up close. In the meantime I'm hoping to get a look round Pearl Harbour a little later this year so I'm planning to tick these venues off the list. Cheers
