To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Unidentified Argentinian Garibaldi-class armoured cruiser (probably General Garibaldi, see comments below).
You're wellcome. I think the ship is ARA "General Garibaldi" one of three ships armed with two Armstrong 254/45 mm (10"/45); the "Garibaldi" mounted 10 152/45 mm (6"/45) too and the other 2 ships armed with 10" guns, "Generay Pueyrredon" and "General Belgrano", were armed with 14 152/45 mm (6"/45); the fourth, "General San Martín" was armed with 4 203/45 mm (8"/45)
She's not the Cristóbal Colón; she's one of the ships of Argentina.
ReplyDeleteThe Colón never mounted her main guns as showed in photo
Thanks for the info. I'll look into this and amend the caption accordingly. :)
