HMS ''Undaunted'' was a wooden screw frigate, the fifth ship of the name to serve in the Royal Navy. She was the last of the ''Bristol'' Class, (which included the ''Bristol'', ''Glasgow''' and ''Newcastle'', as well as the ''Undaunted''; other ships ordered to the same design were cancelled).〔Lyon & Winfield: ''The Sail and Steam Navy List: All the Ships of the Royal Navy 1815–1889''.〕 She was built as a composite wooden hulled vessel, built with a telescopic funnel and hoisting screws. She was ship rigged throughout, It is thought that the installation of a wrought iron mast in HMS ''Undaunted'' may have been experimental.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-1400147-bell-mast-non-civil-parish-kent )〕 After launching, she went to Sheerness Dockyards for completion, and was then put straight into Reserve〔 She was commissioned under Captain Hugh Campbell, sailing for the East Indies 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowShip.php?id=98 )〕 as the Flagship of Rear Admiral Reginald Macdonald. HMS Undaunted had some distinguished Captains, including Captain Harry Woodfall Brent, (1834-1911), who commanded the ''Undaunted'' later in 1875.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=1206 )〕 She was then commanded by Captain Nathaniel Bowden-Smith, East Indies, again as the flagship of Rear-Admiral Macdonald, then of Rear-Admiral John Corbett (until he transferred his flag to HMS ''Euryalus''). In 1879, the ''Undaunted'', by now under Captain John D'Arcy, returned to Chatham,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pdavis.nl/ShowBiog.php?id=1216 )〕 and then it was sold in 1882.〔 The iron bell mast from this vessel, still survives at the Chatham Royal Dockyard site. It was then refurbished and erected in 1803 and the bell was rung to signal each change of shift for the dockyard employees until its closure in 1984. The Bell Mast is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and has been restored and stands at the new entrance to the Historic Dockyard (visitor attraction) off Leviathan Way.〔 == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HMS Undaunted (1861)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
