Frigate Unicorn is a unique attraction to visit while staying at Dundee hotels. It is ideally located within the Victoria Docks of Dundee City and is the oldest British built ship that still floats since its launch in the year 1824. It is the 46-gun wooden warship that measures 45.7m in length and was built at the Royal Dockyards at Chatham in Kent. However, the Unicorn entered Dundee in the year 1873 as a drill ship for the Royal Naval Reserve. Presently, the ship is maintained by the Unicorn Preservation Society and thereby forms an exhibit within the City Quay which the regeneration project centered near the Victoria Dock. The ship not only portrays the essence of life in the Royal Navy during the golden era of sailing but also complements the renowned Discovery Point Center at Dundee. You would have a great experience stepping on board this historic fantasy and travelling back to the days when Britannia ruled the waves.
