Categories
editThe article is in Category:Reportedly haunted locations in Scotland, but makes no reference to any ghosts or other paranormal activity associated with Unicorn, so I am wondering if it should be taken out of the category.Dunarc (talk) 15:24, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- I have now removed the article from this category. Currently there is nothing in the article which would justify its inclusion in it given that, as I noted previously, is no mention of hauntings or paranormal activity. If anybody has evidence that there have been reports of hauntings or ghost sightings, and adds such information to the article with citations, then inclusion in the category should of course be revisited.

Frigate Unicorn, Dundee, Scotland. I was a Volunteer Museum Attendant/Maintenance Joiner, and Relief Ship-Keeper on the Frigate Unicorn, Dundee. - 09/95 - 02/96. There was talk of masting her, but funding wasn't available; in my opinion this would've been a mockery, as a historicaly roofed ship it is much more interesting, and unusual.

Due to the relatively uncluttered nature, I was able to show interested parties construction techniques used throughout the ships service, from a bulkhead that had visible pit saw marks, to later circular saw, and finally band saw. Remnants of spark prevention copper sheathing were visible in the powder rooms Iandeare (talk) 16:45, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
Last intact warship
editThe claim from the Evening Telegraph that the Unicorn is the "last intact warship" from the Age of Sail would seem to be wrong: the USS Constitution is also intact, and for that matter 27 years older. Is there some additional distinction in play? Mackensen (talk) 12:00, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
