Framed Print of H.M.S. Inflexible at Ports Mouth: 1. swinging compasses off Magnetic Station, Gilkicker Point, 1881. Creator: Unknown
H.M.S. Inflexible at Ports Mouth: 1. swinging compasses off Magnetic Station, Gilkicker Point, 1881....most powerful turret-ship of the Royal Navy...At the time she was designed the Inflexible was a complete novelty in naval shipbuilding...Not only was she the largest turret-ship in the service, but she was protected by the thickest armour, armed with the heaviest guns, and was in other respects unique and unparalleled as an engine of war...We are indebted to a correspondent, an officer of the Royal Artillery, for the Sketches that show the appearance of H.M.S. Inflexible while undergoing her recent experimental trials at Portsmouth. She is represented off the Magnetic Station at Gilkicker Point during the well-known nautical manoeuvre of revolving, as it were on a pivot, to test the correct performance of the ship's compasses, which is familiarly called "swinging her compass." In the second Illustration she appears as engaged in making trial of her guns. The third Sketch is that of painting the mast, 47 ft. 6 in. high, erected on the shore at Stokes Bay, to mark "the measured mile" by which the speed of all her Majesty's ships has to be tested'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
