Cementing international relations between Scotland and Lebanon at Dundee harbour.
HMS Unicorn was built as a frigate for the Royal Navy and launched in 1824. A superstructure was built over her main deck and she was laid up "in ordinary", serving as a hulk and a depot ship for most of the next 140 years. Her lack of active duty left her timbers well preserved, and in the 1960s steps were initiated to convert her to a museum ship. Despite the lack of masts she is still a fine ship and well worth a visit.

HMS Unicorn was designed to be armed with forty six of these guns.
That's all folks.
