IMMORTALITE
Class Wooden Screw Frigates HMS Immortalite, HMS Bristol, HMS
Glasgow, HMS Newcastle, and HMS Undaundted. The original
design of these frigates was by Sir William Symonds who was the surveyor of
the Royal Navy between 1832 to 1848. HMS Immortalite was considered
to be the fastest wooden ship under sail at the time. The armament
for these ships consisted of Thirty 8 inch Muzzle Loading SB Guns, and twenty
32 pdr ML SB, and one 68 pdr ML SB guns but these armaments were reduced
during the careers with HMS Bristol, Immortalite and HMS Glasgow
ending up with 28 guns, and HMS Undaunted with 31 guns. HMS Undaunted was
the last wooden ship to hold the position of Flagship on active service. and
was often considered to be the finest wooden hulled screw frigate in service.
