do you mean the one from Hornblower??... i tried to look it up in the danish state archive, but no luck.
couldn't find any blueprints on her

 

[Grumblepunk]

Ugh! I *just* had the book with photos of all of the models but it didn't suit my needs and I returned it to the bookstore. Unfortunate as it told which real frigate was the basis of HMS Indefatigable. Oddly enough, I believe it was a French frigate. Was a beautiful ship, though I have yet to see the series.

 

[Vassal]

So

Here's a nice site for ship models - http://www.modelships.co.uk/Models/models.html

Look at the HMS Agamemnon, Nelson's favorite ship...

Another site with good pix of the Caldercraft model of the Agamemnon - http://www.`westbourne-model`.co.uk/agamemnon.htm

Here's an article about the replica Indefatigable used in ITV's production of Hornblower - http://www.ioan.palacecreations.com/articl...s/idryland.html

Short, but interesting...

And finally a nice site with historic ship models for sale - look under "Sailing Ships - Three masts" to find the Agamemnon. http://www.`sell-it`-easy.de/sail/english/index.htm

HMS Indefatigable was a real ship. It was a French 64 gun Ship of the Line that was captured by the British and turned into a Razee (The ship had a deck cut out) so it was then a British 44 gun Heavy Frigate.

 

[Diomed]

It was a heavy frigate of 64 guns, built in 1784. :

 

[CaptJackSparrow]

what is a "ship of the line"?

 

[GloriousRedArmy]

Yes HMS Indefatigable was a very famous British frigate. I've found many books on her from Barns and noble if you want to check it out.

 

[CatalinaThePirate]

Apparently there is a good book out there about the Hornblower movie where they discuss in full detail the building of the replica Indefatigable... Check Amazon, or look in a decent bookstore and you should be able to find or order it.

 

[muddymonkey77]

A ship of the line is a warship that is rated powerful enough to fight in a line of battle.
