She was the world's first seagoing ironclad - a warship built from wood, but whose hull was clad in a protective layer of iron plate. Britain, not to be outdone, launched her own ironclad the following year - HMS Warrior - which, when she entered service, became the most powerful warship in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like the Dreadnought half a century later, this ship changed the nature of naval warfare forever, and sparked a frantic arms race. The elegant but powerful Warrior embodied the technological advances of the early Victorian era, and the spirit of this new age of steam, iron and firepower. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated with detailed cutaway artwork, this book covers the British ironclad from its inception and emergence in 1860, to 1875, a watershed year, which saw the building of a new generation of recognisably modern turreted battleships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Osprey Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56048192422266,"sku":"ZOS-9781472826893","price":10.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/British-Ironclads-1860_E2_80_9375.jpg?v=1760976767","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-ie\/products\/british-ironclads-1860-75","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
