HMS Warrior

Aquest fou, en el seu moment (1861), el vaixell més modern del mon: el primer amb blindatge d'un pam d'acer, canons de retrocarrega i motor a vapor. Afortunadament ha estat conservat com a museu, tot i va estar a punt de ser desballestat com a ferralla.

 

================================================

 

The HMS Warrior was in 1861, the most modern and powerful warship in the world: ironclad, with breech-loading guns and steam engines. Fortunately, it has survived to be a floating museum.
