Assorted officers’ sleeping quarters aboard HMS Warrior (1860).

Love the Captain’s fancy hammock (2nd picture). All of these look much bigger in pictures than in reality. It’s somehow so funny to think of a grand strutting personality such as Fitzjames tucked away into one of these tiny (likely smaller) spaces for the night.

HMS Warrior (1860) Portsmouth by Roy Llowarch Via Flickr: Hearts of Oak, Ships of Steel HMS Warrior (1860) A trip over to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Seen here is HMS Warrior. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first ocean-going amour plated iron hulled warships in the world. They were built in response to France lunching the first ocean-going ironclad warship, the wooden-hulled Gloire. I took this photo with my Canon DSLR camera I have included a link to the Wiki page below en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Warrior_(1860)
