Early Arinorciads.

It is interesting to recall at the present
time the idea, conceived early in this CEN
tury-in 1812-by Colonel John Stevens. for
the construction Of the siron-plated vessel
of war with a saucer-sflaped hull. pro-
PEELED by screws so arranged as to give a
rotary motion to the structure. The bait
terry was to be Of the heaviest ordnance
of the time, and the plating heavy enough
to resist the shot of similar guns at short
range.
The main purpose of the craft was har-
Dor defence. and the plan of action was
to moor the vessel by a chain leading
down through the bottom of the hip at
its centre, and to spin 1t around this
centre, firing gun after gun as 1t came in
the line of fire, thus anticipating the lat
ter Timby turret. which, IN turn, was the
germ of the modern monitor armorciad.
Such a vessel was actually built, half a
century later, by the Russian Govern.
ment. and was a good representative or
the first Stevens battery.
ing to some authorities, the Dutch were
the first In the modern period of history
to build an iroIclad, and that during the
siege of Antwerp by the Spaniards, in
1885. the people of that city built an enor-
NOUS f1at-bottomed vessel. armored 1t
with heavy iron plates and thus con-
structed what they regarded as an inn
pregnable battery. This they named
"Finis Belli.g Unfortunately, the vessel
got aground before coming into action and
fell into the hands of the enemy. 1t was
held BY Alexander OF Parma to the end
Of the Siege as a curiosity. but was never
employed By either side in any action
