- Abstract
"The vessel represented in the drawings is supposed to be armor-clad, and to have a bomb-proof upper deck, on which is a revolving turret. It also has two horns, at each end below the load-line for striking an enemy's vessel below the water-line, the said horns being arranged at such distances apart as to permit the carriages by which the mortars or other pieces of ordnance or explosive contrivances are to be run out, to work between them."
