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.

Terrible class French coastal defense Ironclad predreadnought battleship Caiman.

Amongst the last representatives of the so-called 'monster gun era' that started in 1872 with the launch of the Italian Duilio, vessels of this class mounted two very large (16.5" caliber) single guns in barbettes fore and aft. Caiman was launched in May 1885 and scrapped in 1927.
