SMS Vineta was a member of the Arcona class of steam frigates built for the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The class comprised five ships, and were the first major steam-powered warships ordered for the Prussian Navy.
Design
Vineta was 73.32 meters (240 ft 7 in) long overall and had a beam of 12.9 m (42 ft 4 in) and a draft of 5.52 m (18 ft 1 in) forward. She displaced 2,113 metric tons (2,080 long tons) as designed and 2,504 t (2,464 long tons) at full load. The ship had short forecastle and sterncastle decks straight stem. Her superstructure consisted primarily of a small deckhouse aft. She had a crew of 35 officers and 345 enlisted men.
Her propulsion system consisted of a single horizontal single-expansion steam engine driving a single screw propeller, with steam supplied by four coal-burning fire-tube boilers. Exhaust was vented through a single funnel located amidships. Vineta was rated to steam at a top speed of 8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph), but she significantly exceeded this speed, reaching 11.7 knots (21.7 km/h; 13.5 mph) from 1,580 metric horsepower (1,560 ihp). The ship had a cruising radius of about 1,350 nautical miles (2,500 km; 1,550 mi) at a speed of 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph). To supplement the steam engine on long voyages abroad, she carried a full-ship rig with a total surface area of 2,200 m (24,000 sq ft).
Vineta was armed with a battery of twenty-eight 68-pounder guns. By 1869, she had been rearmed with a battery of seventeen 15 cm (5.9 in) K L/22 guns and two 12.5 cm (4.9 in) K L/23 guns.
Service history
The keel for Vineta was laid down at the Königliche Werft (Royal Dockyard) in Danzig in 1859. She was launched on 4 June 1863. After completing fitting out work, she was commissioned into active service on 3 March 1864.
