Description
English: H.M.S. Warrior

Print. Tinted lithograph of the three-masted armoured frigate, HMS Warrior (1860) on a starboard tack running through strong waves before a good wind. Most of her square sails are aloft and smoke streams back from the two funnels. The red ensign flies from the stern rigging. Another square-rigged ship is shown on the far horizon. Two lifeboats are stowed on their davits towards the stern. Designed to challege the ironclad ships being built for the French Navy, Warrior was by far the largest warship in the world when launched (418ft (127m) and had a complement of 705 officers and men. Built by the Thames Ironwork and Shipbuilding Company in London, she was the Royal Navy's first iron-hulled armoured warship and carried 26, 68-pounder guns, 10 Armstrong guns and 4, 40-pounder guns. Owing to her great size and weight, steam power was installed to supplement the sail propulsion and Warrior was fitted with an innovative horizontal trunk engine built by John Penn & Sons. However, HMS Warrior never saw active service and 1864 had already been superseded by faster and larger ships with superior armour.
