Hartlepool: Trincomalee 
Description
The Trincomalee was ordered at the height of the Napoleonic wars and was built out in India as there was insufficient Oak left in the UK to build a warship of it's size. However, by the time the ship was completed, the wars were over and it wasn't needed, so it spent nearly 25 years in storage before being sent out on a couple of missions. By the middle of the 19th Century it had been converted to a training ship and remained as such until 1991 when she was taken out of service and sent up to Hartlepool. Today you can wander around her decks to see what life would have been like on a Napoleonic era warship.
