HMS Unicorn

Frigate — one of the oldest ships still afloat, in Dundee · 1824

HMS Unicorn is a surviving sailing frigate of the successful Leda class, although the original design had been modified by the time that the Unicorn was built, to incorporate a circular stern and "small-timber" system of construction. Listed as part of the National Historic Fleet, Unicorn is now a museum ship in Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom.

She is the oldest ship in Scotland, one of the oldest ships in the world, and one of the last intact warships from the age of sail. As of January 2025, the ship is due to undergo restoration and relocation to a newly restored dry dock.
