The highly ornate carvings on the back of the ship are known as "Gingerbread" - Trincomalee's feature elephants, reflecting her Indian origins

Trincomalee's restoration includes a full complement of cannons - can you tell the real ones from the replicas?

Trincomalee's masts and rigging are a true work of art - the men who worked in these were known as the "Top Men", and were considered amongst the elite of the vessel

Trincomalee's Busthead - not a Masthead, as many think, as it only features the head and shoulders of the figure
