HMS Trincomalee

HMS Trincomalee Season: 6 Episode: 23 HMS Trincomalee is one of only two surviving British frigates from her era, alongside her near-sister ship, HMS Unicorn, now preserved as a museum in Dundee. Ordered on 30 October 1812, Trincomalee was constructed in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, by the renowned Wadia family of shipwrights. Her maiden voyage was the begining of a love story and also brought her in contact with a famous French historical figure.CASTEliza Bunt - Rose HalesWalter Henry - Steve SheperdRear-Admiral Bruce - Joe WilsonSouth Durham Herald - Andrea ReidTHIS PODCASTThis podcast has been specially edited from a Bradley Stoke Radio show in Bristol, England. If you liked it please leave a rating and maybe a comment and if you’d like to support the show with a donation, however small, you can go to Ko-Fi.comSome more great news for you, if you were interested in buying merchandise featuring the show’s logo, then pop over to Teepublic, you’ll find lots of things to choose from.So, thankyou for listening and until next time guys, take care and look after each other.CONTACT MEEmail: info@backtracker.co.ukFacebook: @BackTrackerUKInstagram: @backtrackerukBluesky: @BackTrackerUK-SOURCESThe History of HMS Trincomalee 1812 to 1986 (Friends of Trincomalee)Daily News (London) - Tuesday 25 March 1890“Quarterdeck” magazine Ref: 2009 Issue 1 (Spring) pages 4 to 5“Quarterdeck” magazine Ref: 2010 Issue 2 (Summer) pages 4 to 7- Mary Hope MonneryBBC-Sound Effects by zapsplat.comIntro music by The Model Folk Back In The Day music by Freesoundmusic© THE BACKTRACKER HISTORY SHOW 2025
