Project history

Heaviest wooden ship ever built, design was based on the design of Bellerophon with dimension modified to suit a wooden hull and the battery armour extended the full length of the ship. Ship had clipper/ram bow and was ship-rigged, with 2900m² sail area. She was handy under sail, making up to 10kts but rolled heavily.

Ship protection

Full length waterline belt 140mm amidships and 114mm at the ends wake up by full length 140-114mm battery armour. The wooden hull had 37mm iron skin and waterline belt was sheathed with 102mm oak.
