HMS Protee 1780 / HMS Argonaut 1782

After being captured off the coast of Spain by Lord Robert Manners, the Prot�e was commissioned in the Royal Navy as the third rate HMS Prothee. She was converted to serve as a prison ship in 1799, and broken up in 1815. Eight of her small cannons were purchased by John Manners, 5th Duke of Rutland and are currently at Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire. The cannons are still fired on special occasions, such as weddings and the Duke\'s birthday.

This ship pack can also be used to represent the British Caton Class ship-of-the-line HMS Argonaut 1782.

Designed to be used with the tactical ship-to-ship game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Andrea Mainini, each Sails of Glory� Ship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other Sails of Glory game product.

In Sails of Glory you will sail and fight with massive ships-of-the-line or swift frigates, in an age where the armies and fleets of the French Emperor Napoleon I battled across the seas, as well as on the fields of Europe, and the powerful Royal Navy of the British Empire clashed against the French from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, in dramatic naval battles, such as Trafalgar and the Battle of the Nile.

Sent wonderfully packaged, this incredible Wargame will be sent swiftly and before you know it, it will be sitting proudly on your desk and receiving admiring comments from all your family, friends and colleagues!
