Synopsis
In 1858, wooden ships-of-the-line were still the most powerful warships afloat. Less than 15 years later, the Royal Navy launched the world's first modern battleship - armoured in steel, with heavy guns in turrets, and entirely steam-powered. What separated them was the greatest technological revolution in naval history-the ironclad era. France launched the world's first seagoing ironclad, La Gloire, in 1859. In reply Britain, fearing for its naval supremacy, launched HMS Warrior. Entirely iron-hulled, she was instantly the most powerful warship in the world. With the world's existing wooden fleets now obsolete, a pan-European arms race was on to build, experiment with, and perfect iron warships as fast as possible. It was Victorian engineering at its peak, as the Royal Navy ordered class after class of new and improving iron warships. Fully illustrated with meticulous original artwork, this book details the Royal Navy's ironclads during these astonishing 15 years, from Warrior to the first mastless turret ship, HMS Devastation. Book jacket., After the French warship La Gloire was launched in 1859, Britain, not to be outdone, launched her own ironclad the following year - HMS Warrior. When she entered service, she became the most powerful warship in the world. Just like the Dreadnought half a century later, this ship changed the nature of naval warfare forever, and sparked a frantic arms race. The elegant but powerful Warrior embodied the technological advances of the early Victorian era, and the spirit of this new age of steam, iron and firepower. Fully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork, this book covers the British ironclad from its inception and emergence in 1860, to 1875, a watershed year, which saw the building of a new generation of recognisably modern turreted battleships., In November 1859, the French warship La Gloire was launched. She was the world's first seagoing ironclad--a warship built from wood, but whose hull was clad in a protective layer of iron plate. Britain, not to be outdone, launched her own ironclad the following year--HMS Warrior-- which, when she entered service, became the most powerful warship in the world. Just like the Dreadnought half a century later, this ship changed the nature of naval warfare forever, and sparked a frantic arms race. The elegant but powerful Warrior embodied the technological advances of the early Victorian era, and the spirit of this new age of steam, iron, and firepower. Fully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork, this book covers the British ironclad from its inception and emergence in 1860, to 1875, a watershed year which saw the building of a new generation of recognizably modern turreted battleships., The story of the greatest technological revolution in naval history--the birth of the steam-powered, iron-hulled warship, and the Royal Navy's battle to remain the most powerful in the world.
