The Naval Manoeuvres : Loading the Big Guns on Board a Cruiser. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, July 28th, 1900," showing a Drawing by J. Nash from a Sketch by a Naval Officer, for "The Naval Manoeuvres :  Loading the Big Guns on Board a Cruiser."

The scene here shown is a redoubt on a first-class cruiser of the Terrible type, which carries as her main armament two 22-ton guns.  The left-hand gun, as you look at the picture, is shown with the breech locked and ready to be fired.  The right-hand gun is being loaded from the breech, the long rammer handled by the men being seen pushing the huge shell into its place.  Then the cartridge will similarly be rammed in and the breech locked for firing.

Condition is Very Good.
