boeing_787_8_dreamliner Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 HTTCS Royal George East Indiaman 36 guns 26 x 12lb longgun 10 x 9lb longguns Crew: 230 Man Max. Speed: 9 knots It was formerly HMS Canoniere, a 4th rank ship of the line with 52 guns. Due to its advanced age, overhauling was no longer worthwhile. Therefore, the ship was decommissioned by the Royal Navy and should then be scrapped. The ship was purchased by Parker Dockyards to be converted into an East Indiaman. For the rigging was renewed. Also, some 6 and 9 pounders were removed from the deck to make room for the passenger cabins. The 18 lb main armament was exchanged for 12 lb to generate more loading capacity. Now the ship will be handed over to the ETTC. HMS Cannoniere before being overhauled Spoiler Quote
Kai NRG Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 This is a very cool ship, I love how the sides curve out and then back in. Neat to see it with the sails up too. And that's a great stern! Quote
Justsomebrix Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Beautiful ship as always! The fleet has really grpwn immensely these last couple of weeks Quote
Ayrlego Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 Another stunning merchantman! The level of detail on the deck is very impressive and her shape is gorgeous! Very impressive work! I've licensed her for the ETTC and added her to the front page of the ETTC thread. Quote
