Pirates’ King
Af Chapman:
The ship was constructed by the Whitehaven Shipbuilding Company, located
in Whitehaven, Cumberland (present-day Cumbria), and launched in
February 1888.[2] She was originally known as Dunboyne, after a town in
County Meath, Ireland. Her maiden voyage was from Maryport, Cumberland
to Portland, Oregon and she subsequently made voyages between Europe,
Australia and the west coast of North America. On her arrival in Sweden
in 1915 she was renamed G.D. Kennedy and when the Swedish Navy bought
her in 1923 she was given her present name after the shipbuilder and
Vice Admiral Fredrik Henrik af Chapman (1721–1808). The Navy used her as
a training ship and as such she made several trips around the world
before serving as a barracks during WW2. Her final voyage was in 1934.

Naval Architecture
Esmeralda:
Construction began in Cádiz, Spain, in 1946. She was intended to become
Spain’s national training ship. During her construction in 1947 the yard
in which she was being built suffered catastrophic explosions, which
damaged the ship and placed the yard on the brink of bankruptcy. Work on
the ship was temporarily halted. In 1950 Chile and Spain entered into
negotiations in which Spain offered to repay debts incurred to Chile as a
result of the Spanish Civil War in the form of manufactured products,
including the not yet completed Esmeralda. Chile accepted the offer and
the ship was formally transferred to the ownership of Chile in 1951.

150 лет первому сражению броненосных флотов - Записки Обывателя
В
этот день в 1866 году состоялось морское сражение у Лиссы (сейчас - о-в
Вис, Хорватия). Первое в истории морское сражение паровых броненосных
флотов (хотя в нем принимали участие и деревянные корабли) - в отличии
от речного боя одиночных "Мерримака"
и "Монитора". Австрийцы (7 броненосцев, 7 винтовых деревянных единиц)
разбили итальянцев (12 броненосцев, 6 винтовых деревянных кораблей),
потопив таранным ударом флагманский броненосец противника (командующий
итальянским флотом - Персано - «предусмотрительно» заранее перешел на
другой корабль - "Аффондаторе", не спустив свой флаг на "Ре д'Италии").
Еще один итальянский броненосец - "Палестро" - взорвался из-за пожара в
конце сражения, а "Аффондаторе" затонул уже в своей базе.
Отставание
артиллерии в развитии привело к тому, что на море вернулись к тактике
древности – таранам! До Цусимского сражения на кораблях английского
флота имелось оснащение для абордажа. Через 30 лет корабельные пушки
вернули себе утраченные позиции, но ненадолго – на подходе уже были
подводные лодки и авиация. А итальянцы, потерпев поражение, решили пойти
своим путем - торпедные катера, сверхмалые подлодки и "люди-лягушки"
(хотя строили и линкоры и крейсера) и, надо признать, добились на этом
пути успехов в 1-й и 2-й мировых войнах!
