Aaron Morse Posted December 15, 2006 Nope, finishing the rigging and fine details of the HMS Challenger (44guns) I finally got the captains cabin looking how it should, and have keel 80% complete on HMS Agamemnon (64 guns). Although 3rd project is going to be either a twin pair of french corvettes (20 guns each ), or a french 3rd rate (74 guns), I have to have something for HM navy to fight! My major problem is going to be where to put them once completed! Your currently building another frigate??I want to build the HMS Agamemnon once... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobricki Posted November 25, 2010 The purpose of the yellow and black colorings on british warships from the napoleonic era was because Horatio Nelson ordered his fleet to paint all their ships with this color scheme so that he could distinguish which ships were friendlies and which were foes. I don't know if the french purposely did the same thing with their ships as well but I would imagine they tried to color all of their ships with their darker color scheme so that they could tell which ships belonged to them or not.
