That is a great shot.
Any son of that era would have loved to be there.
I was quite amazed at the amount of complicated metal structures and
marvelled at the amount of maintenance there must have been to protect
against the salt-water corrosion. Bristling with guns.
I've never seen, let alone been on, such a vessel.
