Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

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.

Italian battleship Dante Alighieri passes the Ponte Girevole swing bridge at Taranto, 1918.

Dante Alighieri was the first battleship to have her main guns set in triple turrets at the time of her launching. She was launched ten months before Viribus Unitis but completed six weeks later than the Austro-Hungarian vessel.
