Re: Victorian Navy
Very pretty indeed! However (and I haven't yet consulted my own sources, sitting in my yard, baby-sitting three little chicks...) didn't she have a much lower freeboard. I know the Royal Navy thought of her as virtually useless in anything but the calmest seaway. She spent most of her time in port, as a matter of fact, finally being reduced to a tender.

Excellent work! I'm hoping this means we'll be seeing some more of these 'real ships' from the 19th century here. So many different types and styles
