An old engraving showing the various types of armour-plated, iron-clad warships of the British and American navies that were afloat in the 1870s. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Those vessels illustrated include HMS Captain (left background, built 1869), HMS Thunderer (left foreground, built 1872), HMS Glatton (centre left, built 1871) and USS Dunderberg (centre right, built 1865). US navy Monitors are shown rear right and foreground right. Some ships were powered by both steam and sail, others were solely steam-powered.
