HMS Unicorn

HMS Unicorn is an old ship that was built in 1824 and has a lot of history about it. Access is via a ramp from the Pavement to the Gun deck. If you are in a Wheelchair this will be the only area you will get to see as the other decks are accessed via very steep stairs or ladders. However there is the chance to see the desks via a 10 min video that is shown this is off the ship next to the ramp you use to get on and off the ship.

HMS Unicorn

Wheelchair users can get into the museum for free as there are many parts of the ship that wheelchair users can't get too.

Steep entrance ramp, but worth it!

HMS Unicorn is a wooden war ship based on Dundee's Victoria Dock. It is almost 200 years old and has loads of atmosphere on the ship. Wheelchair access is limited to the main deck, but there is more than enough to see here to give you a good idea of how things were when this ship was on the sea.
