H.M.S. Sultan: The Largest Ironclad Afloat in 1870 This striking photograph captures H.M.S. Sultan, the largest ironclad afloat in 1870, as she sits majestically in her dock. Seven months have passed since her launch, and in that time, she has been fitted out and prepared for sea. The Sultan, a symbol of maritime power and engineering prowess, is a testament to the technological advancements of the late 19th century. The Sultan was a formidable vessel, equipped with twelve heavy guns, each capable of delivering significant firepower. Her engines, with a power output of 1200 horses, were a marvel of their time, enabling her to move through the water with impressive speed and agility. The ironclad's hull, covered in armor plate, protected her from enemy fire, making her a formidable force on the water. The photograph captures the Sultan in her dock, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the shipyard. Workers can be seen in the background, continuing their tasks, while others stand and admire the vessel's impressive size and design. The cranes and other machinery that were used to construct and outfit the ship are also visible, adding to the sense of industry and progress. The Sultan represented the pinnacle of naval technology in the late 19th century, and her launch marked a significant milestone in the history of shipbuilding. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when ships like the Sultan were the epitome of engineering and naval power.
