I can't tell what this is,


but I do certainly like it! Found on the 'weapons' board of that certain infamous place of the internets. The whole concept of the ironclad with side-turrets is interesting in itself; looks like something freshly out of a steampunk novel.

    1. The thread where I found it contained more images of similar ships, I believe they are real and are pre-dreadnought ironclads; one image named one, the 'Charles Martel' of France which has the same featuers (bent sides and side-turrets).

  2. Well - this is not a fake. It's a photo of the French battleship 'Bouvet'.

    1. Thanks for the info! Not a bright career for the poor ship.
