2 HMS SURPRISE The many readers who followed the adventures of Jack Aubrey in Patrick O Brian s best-selling Master and Commander series, and cinema-goers who enjoyed the Hollywood blockbuster Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World based on Aubrey s adventures, will need no introduction to HMS Surprise. They may, however, be surprised to learn that the frigate is no work of fiction and that she first sailed under French colours HMS SURPRISE The Royal Navy ship commanded by Jack Aubrey during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars which spanned the late th and early 9th century, began life as an enemy corvette, L'Unité. Designed by French shipbuilder Pierre-Alexandre Forfait in Le Havre, the ship was laid down in August 79 and launched just five months later. At 50 tonnes, just over metres (5 feet) long, 9.5 metres ( feet) in beam and with a draught of. metres ( feet) she saw action in the first great naval battle of the wars against revolutionary France: the Battle of the First of June, in 79. Both sides claimed victory: the British under Lord Howe, because they sank seven French ships with no loss: the French because the convoy that the British had been trying to keep at sea, succeeded in getting through Royal Navy lines, bringing much-needed supplies to France. Among the French ships that suffered damage was Revolutionaire, which was demasted. She was towed back to port by Audacieux, escorted by L'Unité. Taken by the British Armed with eight-pounders and eight four-pound long guns, L'Unité sailed to the Mediterranean where, on 9 April, 796, while at anchor off the coast of Algeria, she was spotted by the crew of the British ship Below: The Battle of the First of June, the 79 naval engagement in which L Unité, later to become HMS Surprise, saw action.

3 Above: In 797, the crew of HMS Surprise stormed aboard the Spanish vessel Santa Cecelia formerly the British frigate HMS Hermione. In 797, Hermione s crew had mutinied, sailed her into Spanish waters and handed her over to the enemy fleet. Inconstant, under the command of Thomas Freemantle. Her commander, Frigate Captain Le Drézenéc, was suffering from smallpox and was unable to defend the ship as Inconstant sailed into view. The following report was later sent by Captain Freemantle to Admiral Sir John Jervis, who was in command of the Royal Navy s Mediterranean fleet. Inconstant at Sea, April, 796 Sir, I have the honour to inform you that on the sixteenth, cruizing [sic] near Tunis, I received an Account that a French Frigate had been seen off Cape Mabera near Bon. I therefore made sail to that Place and on the Evening of the 0th perceived a Ship under French Colours at Anchor on the Coast, which I came to, by, and directed to Strike: this was prudently complied with. She is called L'Unité, a Corvette of Guns and Men. The Crew had made an Attempt to set her on Fire, but by the Exertions of Lieutenant Hutchinson it was soon extinguished: Had the Ship been of equal Force with the Inconstant I have every Reason to believe it would have afforded me a further Proof of the Spirit and Steadiness of Every Officer and Person on Board the Ship I command. I am, etc, etc, Tho. Fra. Freemantle A change of name Now sailing under the British flag, the ship was renamed HMS Surprise and re-classed as a sixth-rate frigate, armed with x -pounder carronades, on her upper deck, eight on her quarter deck, and a further two on the forecastle where there were also two four-pounder carriage guns. She was also coppered to prevent excessive marine growth. Mutiny! The ship gained fame in 799 when her crew captured the Spanish vessel Santa Cecelia, which was moored at Puerto Caballo in what is now Venezuela. The capture was a feather in the British cap as the ship had originally been the Royal Navy vessel HMS Hermione until her mutinous crew had surrendered her to the Spanish two years previously. The mutiny had been a particularly bloody one in which the sadistic captain, Hugh Piggot, and eight of his officers had been thrown overboard. some already dead, some still alive. Two years later, Surprise was back in dock, when her copper was repaired at the Kent port of Sheerness. But by then her days on active service were more or less over: she was sold out of service in February the following year. FICTION BASED ON FACT Much of the Master and Commander series is based on actual events. For example, the capture of the Spanish Cacafuego is based on the capture of the frigate El Gamo by Thomas Cochrane aboard the sloop HMS Speedy. Cochrane s ploy of attaching lights to a small ship to set it up as a larger decoy (described in his Autobiography of a Seaman) was used by O Brian as source material.

4 EARLY NAVIGATION As early mariners ventured further and further out to sea, they developed a variety of instruments to help them plot their course. As the centuries passed, these became more and more sophisticated and accurate, allowing sailors to navigate with increasing confidence. LIFE AT SEA Chart and pair of compasses Sextant DeAgostini Chinese box compass of about 00 Compass Marine chronometer Some journeys such as the trade route that opened up between Egypt and the Minoan civilization of Crete required early sailors to venture on to the open sea for a couple of days. They navigated by the sun in the day, and at night took a bearing on one of the fixed circumpolar stars, as that would remain well above the horizon through the hours of darkness. Experienced sailors developed other methods of finding their way. They learned to recognize currents and to understand the prevailing winds and the ways of birds and fish. Methods such as these as much intuitive art as science were used by the peoples of the South Pacific as they migrated from island to island. The compass Invented in China before the nd century AD, the compass was used in conjunction with feng shui, but there is no definite record of it being used as a navigational aid until 9. Its introduction allowed sailors to take a reading day and night, even when the sky was obscured by clouds and fog. The use of the compass spread to Europe, where the dry compass more suited to stormy seas than Chinese compasses, which were magnetized needles floating in a bowl of water was invented around 00. By the 5th century, the compass, together with the dead-reckoning method of navigation and increasingly accurate charts, had revolutionized sailing in Europe. The combination of a compass direction and instruments to measure the angular height above the horizon of the sun, moon and stars allowed mariners to discover their latitude, and thus to feel more secure sailing on the open seas. This technical innovation provided the

The cross-staff and astrolabe At first, the angular height of celestial bodies was measured either with a cross-staff, also known as a Jacob s staff, or a mariner s astrolabe. The former consists of two pieces of wood: the cross-piece, or transom, slides up and down the main staff, which is marked with a graduated scale. The user sets one end of the pole against his cheek, and sights along it to the horizon. He then moves the transom back and forth until his target is on the upper edge of the transom. Some transoms ended in a brass sighting ring for greater accuracy. The elevation of the target was read from the transom s PLUMMETING THE DEPTHS A sounding line has been used since antiquity to measure water depth, and thus estimate proximity to land. A piece of lead or stone, called a plummet, is paid out over the side on a long rope until it hits the bottom. Filling a hollow Above: Sir Francis Drake s navigational instrument of 569. It includes a compass, quadrant and marine astrolabe. Below: An early brass astrolabe on which the mariner s version was based. position on the staff. Difficulties in using the crossstaff at sea were answered by the more robust construction of the mariner s astrolabe. This was a simplified version of the astrolabe or planisphere, a complex and rather delicate instrument developed by Arab astronomers from classical examples. It could measure the elevation of the stars, predict sunrise and sunset and the phases of the moon, and so on. The mariner s astrolabe was all about measuring in the bottom of the plummet with tallow animal fat allowed experienced sailors to make sure they were on course by examining the sediment that collected there. If the tallow came up clean, they were over rocks. vertical angles: all it took from the planisphere was a graduated ring and a pointer, known as an alidade. The ring was made of heavy brass to keep it stable, with more metal in the bottom of the ring to lower the centre of gravity. A small brass ring in the top meant it could be hung from a hook set into a convenient timber in the ship. The alidade could be made to point at the star or sun and the angle was read off from the ring. Quadrants and sextants Cross-staffs and the mariner s astrolabe were largely replaced by the 7th century by the backstaff or Davis quadrant. This measured the sun s altitude using the length of its shadow, so navigators no longer had to risk their eyesight staring at the sun. But this was never particularly accurate, and it was not until the introduction of the sextant in the 9th century that all problems were solved. Another instrument was needed for the precise calculation of longitude: an accurate clock. It was not until the late th century that the invention of the marine chronometer made it possible for sailors to accurately pinpoint their position on the open seas.

Follow the steps CAREFULLY. Vertical keel HMS SURPRISE: STEP BY STEP Remove each part from the mm plywood pre-cut sheet and sand down the outer edges carefully to remove rough parts on the wood. Join the two parts and of the vertical keel, gluing them together. Glue the two strengtheners on both sides of the vertical keel. Finally, glue the mainmast stay into its corresponding slot.

7 GENERAL TIPS ATTENTION! Assemble under adult supervision. Unsuitable for children under. To assemble this model we recommend that you follow the step-by-step guide. HMS SURPRISE: GENERAL TIPS. Follow all assembly steps CAREFULLY. Take all the time you need. First look at the photos and read all the documentation included in the kit, as it will help you assemble the model correctly: Parts list with Dimensions and Materials. Cut Sheet with precision-cut numbered parts. These instructions.. To remove the wood pieces (see Cut Sheets), carefully cut the tiny strands joining them to the sheet. Use the Cut Sheets to identify fully the precision-cut parts. After removing the parts from the sheets to use them during assembly, carefully sand them before gluing in place. Given the nature and origin of the wood, there may be slight differences in the tone or colour of some material.. To cut to size and identify the parts which are not prefabricated, look at the parts list where you will find: Part number. Part description. Number of same parts to be cut and used in the model. Part dimensions (thickness, width, length, in that order). Material used to make the parts (subject to modification by prior notification.. To ensure the perfect adjustment of cast metal parts, go over the edges with a small file before fitting to eliminate possible burrs and impurities To give a more authentic appearance to the ship s sails, dye them in some tea. When completely dry, add them to the ship without ironing them For parts that need bending or curving, dampen them in water for greater flexibility. You can also use a bending press, or plankbender, which is highly useful during assembly Before mounting the pulley blocks or deadeyes, it is best to enlarge the holes with a 0.75mm diameter drill. GLUES Apply glue sparingly and in strict accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. There are different types of glues that can be used to assemble the model. White glue This is also known as carpenter s glue or PVA. It can be applied directly or with a brush to one of the parts to be glued. Clean off any excess glue immediately after joining the parts to avoid staining when fully dry. Contact glue This glue can be applied with either a brush or a flat spatula. Apply a thin coat to both surfaces to be joined. Before joining the parts, leave for approximately five minutes. After joining, apply light pressure and remove excess glue. Fast-drying glue Apply a tiny amount directly to the point where the parts are to be joined. It is very important that the parts are correctly positioned as you will not be able to move the parts again to set them correctly. Metal glue Super Glue Gel or Two-part epoxy glue PUTTIES Use regular stopping putty for wood. Read the manufacturer s instructions carefully! Applying putty To fill holes or cracks in the ship s hull, apply the putty with a flat spatula. Allow to dry and softly sand the entire surface of the hull to level off the putty. VARNISHES Use clear (not coloured) stopping varnish. Read the manufacturer s instructions carefully! Applying varnish Use a brush to apply varnish to wood. Sand the surface and thoroughly clean the part before varnishing. Varnish as follows:. Apply a first coat and allow to dry.. When dry, sand and clean the part.. Repeat Steps and.. Apply a third coat and allow to dry. 5. When dry, polish the part using steel wool. PAINTS Use acrylic (water-based) paints. Read the manufacturer s instructions carefully! Applying paint Use a paintbrush. Sand the surface and clean the part thoroughly before painting. Paint in the following order.. Apply a coat of varnish to prepare the surface to be painted. Allow the part to dry.. When dry, sand and clean the part.. Apply a first coat of paint and allow to dry.. When dry, apply a second coat of paint.
