HMS Trincomalee is a Royal Navy Leda-class sailing frigate built shortly following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. She is now restored as a museum ship in Hartlepool, England.
HMS Trincomalee – brytyjska fregata typu Leda, zbudowana w 1817. Brała udział w wojnie krymskiej. W latach 90. XX w. przeprowadzono gruntowny remont i rekonstrukcję jednostki, która obecnie służy jako okręt muzeum i jest najstarszym brytyjskim okrętem wojennym utrzymującym się na wodzie.
The Trincomalee is one of two surviving British frigates of her era — her near-sister HMS Unicorn (of the modified Leda class) is now a museum ship in Dundee. After being ordered on 30 October 1812, the Trincomalee was built in Bombay, India by the Wadia family of shipwrights in teak, due to oak shortages in Britain as a result of shipbuilding drives for the Napoleonic Wars. The ship was named Trincomalee after the 1782 Battle of Trincomalee off the Ceylon (Sri Lanka) port of that name.
With a construction cost of £23,000, Trincomalee was launched on 12 October 1817. Soon after completion she was sailed to Portsmouth Dockyard where she arrived on 30 April 1819, with a journey costing £6,600.
After being fitted out at a further cost of £2,400, Trincomalee was placed in reserve until 1845, when she was re-armed with fewer guns giving greater firepower, had her stern reshaped and was reclassified as a sixth-rate spar-decked corvette.
Trincomalee departed from Portsmouth in 1847 and remained in service for ten years, serving on the North American and West Indies station. During her time, she was to help quell riots in Haiti and stop a threatened invasion of Cuba, and serve on anti-slavery patrol. In 1849, she was despatched to Newfoundland and Labrador before being recalled to Britain in 1850. In 1852 she sailed to join the Pacific Squadron on the west coast of America.
TS Foudroyant
Trincomalee finished her Royal Navy service as a training ship, but was placed in reserve again in 1895 and sold for scrap two years later on 19 May 1897. She was then purchased by entrepreneur George Wheatley Cobb, restored, and renamed Foudroyant in honour of HMS Foudroyant, his earlier ship that had been wrecked in 1897.
She was used in conjunction with HMS Implacable as an accommodation ship, a training ship, and a holiday ship based in Falmouth then Portsmouth. She remained in service until 1986, after which she was again restored and renamed back to Trincomalee in 1992.
Now listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, following her recent restoration the Trincomalee has become the centrepiece of the historic dockyard museum in Hartlepool.
The Trincomalee holds the distinction of being the oldest British warship still afloat as HMS Victory, although 52 years her senior, is in dry dock.
Until his death in 1929, the Falmouth-based painter Henry Scott Tuke used the ship and its trainees as subject matter.
W 1812 brytyjska Admiralicja złożyła w stoczni w Bombaju zamówienie na kolejną fregatę udanego typu Leda. Projekt okrętów powstał przez skopiowanie zdobytej francuskiej fregaty Hebe. Łącznie Brytyjczycy zbudowali 47 takich jednostek. Z uwagi na braki drewna dębowego budowę HMS Trincomalee zlecono stoczni w Bombaju, która dysponowała odpowiednim surowcem, jakim było drewno tekowe. Plany wysłano do stoczni na pokładzie okrętu HMS Java, który w drodze do Bombaju został zatopiony przez amerykańską fregatę USS Constitution i z tego powodu budowa została opóźniona o 3 lata. Okręt zwodowano w 1817 i przetransportowano do Wielkiej Brytanii, gdzie został przeniesiony do rezerwy.
W 1847 zmodernizowany okręt ponownie wszedł do służby. Działał w rejonie Indii Zachodnich i Kanady. W 1852 wszedł w skład Dywizjonu Pacyfiku i stacjonował w Vancouver. Wziął wtedy udział w wojnie krymskiej toczącej się także na wodach dalekowschodnich. W 1857 powrócił do Wielkiej Brytanii, gdzie został odstawiony do rezerwy. W 1861 został stacjonarnym okrętem szkolnym Royal Navy. W 1897 fregatę przeznaczoną do rozbiórki uratował przed zniszczeniem Wheatly Cobb prowadzący na starym okręcie liniowym prywatną szkołę morską. Przejął on kadłub Trincomalee i zmienił jego nazwę na Foudroyanta. W charakterze jednostki szkolnej był użytkowany do 1986. W 1989 na okręcie rozpoczął się remont i przebudowa. W 1992 przywrócono pierwotną nazwę okrętu HMS Trincomalee.

Hartlepool Historic Quay & HMS Trincomalee
There could not be a better setting to display an Historic Old Ship. Any one who was in Portsmouth during the 1960's and 1970's would have seen this ship anchored in the middle of the harbour then called the TS Fodroyant, from that old wreck to this, is amazing.

REBUILD OF HMS WARRIOR IN HARTLEPOOL. UK
PHOTOS TAKEN BY PETER JEAN EVENS IN THE 1980s
In August 1979 Warrior began her 800-mile (1,300 km) journey to her temporary home in the Coal Dock at Hartlepool for restoration as a museum ship. She arrived on 2 September 1979 and began the £9 million restoration project, largely funded by the Manifold Trust. The Maritime Trust decided to restore Warrior to her 1862 condition with the aim that no further major work would be necessary for the next 20 years.
The ship left Hartlepool on 12 June 1987 and was towed 390 miles (630 km) to the Solent in four days. When she entered Portsmouth Harbour she was welcomed by thousands of people lining the town walls and shore, and by over 90 boats and ships.She opened as a museum on 27 July.The restored ironclad was renamed HMS Warrior (1860) to avoid confusion with the Northwood Headquarters, commissioned as HMS Warrior in 1963, which was at the time the operational headquarters of the Royal Navy

Visiting Hartlepool's Historic Quay and HMS Trincomalee | Tiger Tom and Wild Will
Hartlepool's Historic Quay or to give it it's proper title The National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, is a visitor attraction in Hartlepool, in the North East of England. The concept of the attraction is the thematic re-creation of an 18th-century seaport, in the time of Lord Nelson, Napoleon and the Battle of Trafalgar. HMS Trincomalee, a Royal Navy frigate and Britain's oldest warship afloat is at the centre of the quay. She was built in Bombay, India in 1817. The 190th anniversary of the ship's official launch was on Friday 12 October 2007.
As Tom and Will's dad (me) grew up in Hartlepool so it's somewhere we've visited before and enjoyed. We decided to visit on a cold January morning. It doesn't cost much to visit and it never gets particularly busy.
The quayside recreates a number of shops from 18th century including a ships chandlers, gunsmiths and sail makers. There is walkthrough attraction called Fighting Ships which is really good. Tom and Will used to get a little scared here but they've got used to it.
Finally, HMS Trincomalee is the centre piece of the Historic Quay. It's available for functions but when there isn't a function going on it's fascinating to look around. See some of the sailors food Tom would and wouldn't eat!!
