Beskrivelse

Photograph of HMS Wivern (British Turret Ironclad, 1865-1922).

At anchor in the Hamoaze River, off Plymouth, England, in 1865.

The original print is mounted on a carte de visite.

Note the lowered bulwarks abreast her two turrets, hammocks stowed around the turret tops to form rifle pits, and her tripod fore and main masts. She was reportedly the first ship fitted with tripod masts, which eliminated standing rigging, thus increasing the arc of her turrets' gunfire.

Ordered by the Confederate States of America government in 1862 as one of two sisters, her true ownership was kept secret under the "cover story" that she was to become an Egyptian warship named El Monassir. Upon delivery to the Confederacy, she was to be named Mississippi. Strong diplomatic pressure by the United States led the British government to seize the two ships in October 1863, while they was fitting out.
