Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Armstrong 100-ton gun being lowered on board of the Italian transport ship Europa, United Kingdom, probably 1870s.

This was a 17.72" muzzle loader as seen on the Duilio & Dandolo Italian predreadnought battleships, the so-called 'monster gun' that defined a short-lived era of battleship construction.
