HMS Unicorn receives ‘incredible’ £796,000 grant

HMS Unicorn was moved to Dundee in 1873 to become a training ship for the Royal Navy Reserves.

Structural reinforcement work on the hull of the ship is currently ongoing.

Future work includes emptying Dundee’s East Graving Dock, repairing it with a new watertight chamber, making it structurally sound, and refilling it to receive HMS Unicorn, which will be floated over a supportive cradle.

HMS Unicorn is the third-oldest ship in the world and has been under the care of the Unicorn Preservation Society since 1968.

The 46-gun frigate was built during peacetime and launched in 1824, spending its early life in reserve, anchored on the River Medway in the south east of England.
