It served on seven Naval ships over the ensuing 64 years, including perhaps the most famous of the second half of the 19th century, HMS Warrior. It was on Warrior at launch and for the following 15 years. Other vessels include HMS Cossack 1854 - 57; Waterloo 1857-61; Warrior 1861-76; Constance 1882-88; Britannia 1888-99; Barham 1915-18; Greyhound II 1918-19.It was only retired to be used for 'Instrumental Purposes' at RN Barracks Portsmouth in 1918. It left the Service in 1948 when it was sold to the chronometer makers and retailers Johannsen. HMS Warrior was the most powerful battleship of its day. Perturbed by the French Navy commissioning 'La Gloire', the first armoured wooden-hulled ship in 1858, the British Government resolved to build a deterrent. HMS Warrior was their riposte - an iron-hulled ship mounted with a heavily armoured gun citadel. The citadel was plated in wrought-iron plates 4.5 inches thick, mounted on 18 inches of solid teak, then mounted onto 1 inch thick plating. This construction meant that it was totally impenetrable by any contemporary weapon, even at point blank range. While defensively very impressive, Warrior had a commanding arsenal at her fingertips too; most of the wooden ships she might have faced carried 32-pounder guns. Warrior carried 26 x 68-pounder guns and 10 x 110-pounder guns. Thankfully, she never fired a shot in anger. Her top speed was recorded at 17.5 knots. In the 20th century she fell into dis-use, but in 1979 The Maritime Trust took her on and she is now one of the major attractions at Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory.
