Description |
English: Launch of the German Screw Corvette Sedan, at Stettin. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 1 July 1876. LAUNCH OF THE GERMAN SCREWCORVETTE SEDAN.,The launch of this vessel took place at the Vulcan Company's works, at Stettin, on the 17th ult. She is a sister ship to the Leipsic, lately launched at the same yard. The Sedan was designed by Mr. Koch, chief constructor of the German navy, to whom the honour of constructing the finest vessels of the Imperial fleet is due. She is built of iron, planked with wood, and is in many respects similar to our Rover class, though a more powerful vessel, especially as regards her armament, which consists of fourteen Krupp steel guns. The principal novelty in her design, which has, as yet, not been adopted in any other war-vessel, is, that she has two inverted ports on each side of her bow (our Inconstant class have only one), which give her a very formidable appearance. Her principal dimensions are-Length between perpendiculars, 282 ft.; breadth, extreme, 46 it. ; depth, 32 ft.; draught, 21 ft.; and her displacement is 4000 tons. Her engines (three cylinder) indicate 4800-horse power. The launch was a great success, and does credit to Director Haak, the builder of the vessel. She received her name from Admiral Henk, who was sent by the Emperor for the purpose. |
