She was the first warship in the world to be built mainly of steel rather than iron. You can see one of her 10.6" breech loaders in the aft barbette near her stern flag pole.

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.
