1971 Holmegaard Ships-plate with the fregat
1971 Holmegaard Ship's plate with motif of
the Full-Rigger Frederik the Sixth. The
motif was reproduce after a painting of
watercolour by Jacob Petersen in 1829.
This beautiful frigate had a very eventful
past : Of English origin bearing the name
Fort William, she was conquered in 1796
by the French off Mauritius, the former
Isle of France. In 1798 she was bought
by the Danish merchants Selbye & Terborch
as a substitute for Christianshavn, who
had been lost at sea. Fort William was renamed
Christianshavn, under which name she was
sold to the Asiatic Company in the year
1800. She was put in the China service,
going out to Canton in 1801-02, 1803-05,
1806-07 and some years after the war she
went again to the Far East, in 1819-21
and in 1826-27.
In 1828 the frigate was submitted to a
complete overhaul at the expense of the
government, and as a due recognition, she
was renamed Frederik the Sixth. Under this
name the ship undertook her last voyages to
China in 1829-30 and 1833-34 when the
Asiatic company ceased to operate.
