A Fascinating Look At The Restored HMS Warrior

Описание: Step aboard the most revolutionary warship ever built. Launched in 1860, HMS Warrior was the "Iron Beast" that sparked a global arms race and rendered every other navy on earth obsolete overnight. In this documentary, we explore how Britain combined the traditional mastery of sail with the raw power of the Industrial Revolution. We dive deep into the ship's massive iron hull to reveal the world's largest maritime engine, the cutting-edge rifled artillery that cost millions to develop, and the surprising modern luxuries—like on-board washing machines—designed to retain the Navy's new class of technical specialists. From its role as a terrifying deterrent against the French to its miraculous rescue from a scrapyard, discover the engineering marvel that bridged the gap between the age of Nelson and the birth of modern naval warfare.
