H.M. Screw Gun-Vessel "Wrangler", built for the Baltic, 1854. British warship, ...built by Messrs. Green, of Blackwall [on the River Thames in London] for the Baltic [Crimean War]; Lieut. Commander H. R. Risk, R.N. Her length is 165 feet, beam 26 feet; her engines, by Maudsley, are 160-horse power; she carries two 68- pounders (Lancaster guns, each weighing 95 cwt.); and two 12-pound howitzers...These [new vessels] will be really effective gunboats, and will throw into the shade the paddle wheel gun-boats of which we have heard so much, and which have been obtained from the Prussians. The difference and value of the two classes will at once be palpable, when it is considered that the screw gun-boat has all the machinery protected at six feet draught of water...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
