Not as old as the "Royal Sovereign" class, MT...
You guys have the right country, right decade.

Nope. Sorry RBWhite, but there are some detail differences I might point out...
1) Canopus smokestacks are in tandem, in the mystery ship they are side by side.
2) Canopus has casemate guns sponsoned low near the waterline, none are evident in the mystery ship.
Here is a better shot of the mystery ship:

HMS Hannibal?
EDIT: Well, now hard to guess... also HMS Barfleur and HMS Centurion are quite simmillar but had different foremast.
But also simillar is HMS Renown....
Soo, my answer is HMS Renown. (at first I thought that Renown was one of Royal Sovereign class)

HMS Renown it is.
I have seen two scources state that Renown is a sole class unit, constructed right after the Centurion class.
Carried 4 x 10-inch guns as main armament. Fisher's image of an ideal warship (fast, maneuverable, and hard hitting even at the expense of armor) may have had it's genesis from serving on this vessel.
