bruce d Posted April 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 5, 2019 Can anyone shed light on the identity of this ship? I have no reliable information to share, so am starting from scratch. Thanks, Bruce Keith Black 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted April 5, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2019 Looks suspiciously like a rendition of HMS Beagle. Google "HMS Beagle" and you'll find many similar images and models. AntonyUK, Canute, bruce d and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 5, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2019 Definitely a Victorian era brig. mtaylor, Canute and bruce d 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uss frolick Posted April 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) She’s rigged here as a bark. The white stripe extending over the stem makes her post 1815. I say she’s the ex-gun-brig Beagle because she had been rerigged as a bark, and, of course, she was famous enough to have had such a nice painting done of her.

druxey Posted April 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2019 Whoops - a bark she is. A brig she was. Thank you for the correction. Frolick! mtaylor, Canute, uss frolick and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce d Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the comments. I have always believed it is Beagle although the picture does not carry any notation. Also, I am grateful for the comments on her rig as I am far from competent to speak on the subject (but had hoped it was 'barque'). Her flags make the numeric '638' or '631': does this mean something I should know about Beagle? Now to tackle the foxing... Thanks again, Bruce Edited April 5, 2019 by bruce d mtaylor, Keith Black and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
