Please identify this ship:

I've seen that type of ship before - it's a French Cruiser - probably called Armored Cruiser - it was shown as an extreme case of tumble home even after they quit building ships of wood.

May have found it...
French Armoured Cruiser Dupuy de Lome..

Hmmm. Now that I have them side by side, I'm not so sure. But they sure look like they came out of the same nest.

The superstructure appears a lot taller in your ship, Rick...

Massena French pre dreadnaught Battleship.

Think that's a pre-pre dread![:D]

Capn Darwin got it. Good job.

Here is, what I assume to be, a picture lifted from a postcard. I thought of posting it, and asking "what the hay? Is this some wierd submarine experiment?"

It does look like something that belongs in the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" movie. [:D]

[RevRick]

I just hope the submerged hull isn't as round as that top, or that beast would roll on wet grass.

I think it looks stylish. I like the look of many of the ships from that era (I'm guessing 1895-1910ish)

Cheers, Neilster
