The MOST PowERFuL IRoN-CLAD VESSEL IN THE
WoRLD.-PEuss IL about to become the pOssess-
sOr Ut one of the most powerful irOn-ciad vessels
IN the world. Three years ago the Sultan of Tur-
key wanted an iron-clad which should surpass all
others IN size, speed, arInOr and armament, and
the Thames Iron Works Co, Of London, contract
ell To build such n ship. 4 failure of payment
on the part of the Turkish government left the
vessel in the hands of the company. and il was
offered at bare cost to the British Admiralty.
CircumlOcation and red tape delayed the decision.
and meanwhile the Prussian Government offered
To purchase the ship at a considerable advance
upon the price for which il was rendered TO Great
Britain. The contract had hardly been signed
transferring the irOn-clad to Prussia when the
British Admiralty appeared as n purchaser. but
too late Thus this formidable vessel, the Z" King
William passed to Prussia, and the London
Times in view of the possibility of sometime sec
ing ler arrayed against British ~frigates, says,
:" Wo bctide any of our vessels of the Warrior
and MinOtaur class which shall meet her." This
new and formidable iron-ciad is 365 feet in
length; breadth 60 feet: of 1000 tons burden
her engines, nominally of ] 500 horsepower, can
be worked up to 900 horsepower; and the ship
is so arInOred rs TO present ut no point less than
six inches Of solid plate, and generally eight
inches, backed by ten-inch teak, and a double
iron skin. Her armament includes twcnty-six
Observation-Disclosures, and seven hundred men
viii be required to man the ship. This splendid
ship, costing g, 600, 900 in gold, is pronounced to
be 80 in strength and armament u fleet in herself"
and her purchase by Prussia may lie taken as an
indication of the intention of that Government
to be as invincible ON tine seas as she has lately
shown herself to be on land.
