EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Her Majesty's Gun-Boat, "Flying-Fish," built in 1856. Designed by G.W., this gun-boat is a remarkable example of British naval engineering during the 19th century. With a displacement of 850 tons, 350 horsepower, and a formidable armament of six guns, the Flying Fish was part of the largest class of dispatch gun-vessels. Its primary objective was to combine impressive speed with a heavy weaponry, featuring two 68-pounder pivot guns and four 32-pounder broadside guns. The pivot guns were strategically placed, one aft the foremast and one between the funnels, providing maximum firepower and flexibility. The Flying Fish, as the first vessel of the Red Division of gun-boats, was a symbol of the advanced naval capabilities of the British Empire. The vessel's sleek design, smoke-emitting funnels, and buoyant presence on the water make for an intriguing visual representation of the era's maritime warfare. This engraving, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, offers a glimpse into the rich history of naval warfare and the technological advancements that shaped it.
