What if someone randomly guessed?

Hmm...I'd say......the uh......Steamsailer-class ship.

Oh well.

Even naming the class of ship will earn you a cookie. Correctly, that is. Unless there are major differences from ship to ship, pinning it down to individual units in a class of several examples is just too hard.
The presense of both sails and prop suggests that it predates the first US ironclads. Is it an early British ironclad of some kind?
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
French ironclad Gloire? The date and rigging are what make me guess that.
I am purposely not looking at the URL until Hipper tells whether I'm right or not.
Stanley Hauerwas wrote:[W]hy is it that no one is angry at the inequality of income in this country? I mean, the inequality of income is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.
Hmmm, I was going to guess british, but you already said no.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
The SS Teakettle perhaps? I read something about the development of propellor driven steam vessels, when they tied one to a paddle driven ship for a tug-o-war test and it towed it around the bay backwards. I'd guess it'd be one of those, still got sails just in case and not yet developed the gun turret. 1880's maybe? French? A boat?
Actually, I can prob find this one, I have a HUGE encyclopedia of warships by class, in chapters by date. the problem is that finding it, in the book is going to take some time.
To Jadeite- a cookie!
Magenta was carrying a cargo of antiquities at the time of her destruction. She was the subject of an archeological survey which focused on the lost sculpture, and not the ship. She and Solferino were also the only two-decker broadside ironclads ever built, which makes them instantly recognisable. Hey Jadeite, what book are you using for research? Sounds like a good one.

By Tony Gibbons. I read and "used" my copy until it fell apart. I took it to my tattoo artist because I was hoping he could do something for me with the photo in the Jaureguiberry listing. Last time I saw my FAVORITE book. I love how he has Dreadnought as a size comparison.

Yeah, that sucks, my copy is falling apart too, the pages on the inside have seperated from the hardback spine of it, and are simply kept together by the glue. Have you ever read "Sea Power: A Modern Illustrated Military History"? its an old book also, but good.
