Description: | A 1 in 48 scale model of the battleship 'Resolution', built by Palmers Iron and Shipbuilding Company at Jarrow, on the River Tyne, in 1892. The Royal Sovereign class of British warship, to which 'Resolution' belonged, marked the end of an era of experimental battleship design. They were seaworthy, mast-less ships with armament layouts based on centre-line, heavy gun mountings (barbettes) fore and aft of a central battery of lesser guns. Palmer's built two of the seven 'Royal Sovereign's', 'Resolution' (1892) and 'Revenge' (1892). After service in the Mediterranean and Home fleets she was sold for breaking up in 1914. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
