The Russian fleet\, armed with shell guns\, was able to completely destroy a Turkish fleet. Wooden walls simply could not withstand the devastating effect of explosive shells. Accordingly\, during the Crimean War\, the English and the French developed iron-cased floating batteries to destroy Russian fixed fortifications\, but these vessels were slow and unseaworthy. Consequently\, the French built the frigate La Gloire\, using iron-hulled fabrication; and the British constructed two iron frigates: HMS Warrior and HMS Black Prince. \nThe Europeans watched as the American Civil War tested and influenced ship design that featured turrets\, sloped armor\, shell and rifled guns\, and rams. These concepts were tested during the Austro-Hungarian fleet’s victory over the Italian navy during the June 20\, 1866 Battle of Lissa. Every major European power created an ironclad navy containing various designs\, including turrets and broadside battleships. By 1870\, steam became the primary motive power as ironclad warships became larger and more heavily armed. The British laid down the last true ironclad in 1870 as nations then looked to construct steel warships with heavily gunned turrets. The continuous development of hull designs and armaments proved that changing technology now ruled the waves. \nRSVP Here\nRead more about our Civil War lectures here… URL://www.boxorats.com/event/european-ironclad-evolution/ LOCATION:The Mariners’ Museum\, 100 Museum Drive\, Newport News\, VA\, 23606\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg://www.boxorats.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/1500x600_CWL_March7.jpg GEO:37.0552206;-76.4900221 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Mariners’ Museum 100 Museum Drive Newport News VA 23606 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=100 Museum Drive:geo:-76.4900221,37.0552206 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
