The Steam-Brig "Governole", built for the Sardinian Government, 1850. The ship was built by...Mr. Pitcher, at Northfleet-yard [London]; and the engines were manufactured by Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field, of Lambeth...she carries twelve 68-pounder broadside guns, of 65 cwt. each, and two 8-inch pivot guns of 95 cwt. being, as we are informed, a more powerful aimament than that of any other steam-vessel of the same class afloat. The engines are of the combined power of 450 horses...The Governole has been constructed in the best manner, and was equipped under the personal superintendence of the Marquis Ricci, an officer of great intelligence in the Sardinian service; whilst every minute point connected with the machinery has been attended to, so as to render this vessel suitable as a war-steamer of great efficiency'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
