Pinned post for Q&A :)

Anyone else love it when the Rum Ration on Wednesday is measured not in pints or litres or gallons but in oak barrels?!? Luckily today is such a day.

Drach, you do realize that the amount of content you generate is mildly insane, right? I've been slogging through your library quite regularly for months, and I'm actually losing ground. Not that it's an unpleasant slog in any respect, but the monstrous nature of it gives it that feel.

Merrimack would later feature in her own ironclad story...

An episode about the development of antifouling would be interesting.

I dislike wars and fighting. But find the technology that comes from it incredibly fascinating

My dad was into ironclads. So much in fact he dressed up as one a few years ago for Halloween. On the way to the party, his car ran off the road and he wound up in the ocean. He managed to get out of the car but he sunk. Miss you dad

The Conning Tower: "Something of a halfway house between being inside a Cathedral Bell as it was being rung, and a Kipper Smoke Shed!"

Thank you so much for this Drach, as a former stoker I would love an episode dedicated to the boilers and engines that powered these things, the development of the ironclads was closely connected with the advancing propulsion technology of the time. Again, thanks :)

Over an hour long development of Ironclads on each country are very much welcomed, drach

A bit connected: the Swedish goverment was offered John Erikssons design of USS Monitor just 3 months after the battle between USS Monitor and CSS Virgina. John Eriksson was from Sweden, and the Swedish goverment used his design. Sweden launched 14 monitors between 1865 and 1867.

What a fascinating period. Just 5 years and we go from ships that could probably sneak into the Battle of Trafalgar relatively unnoticed to ships that wouldn't look massively out of place sailing around with older Pre-Dreadnoughts.

Is it just me or does the idea of Warrior having a forge for molten metal deep within her bowels feel somewhat steampunky?

Sending my thanks to Drac for maintaining my sanity during the whole covid unpleasantness. I've learnt so much since march 2020.

HMS Warrior is still afloat, at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. I went round her a few weeks ago. A great visit!

An excellent account of a very complicated period. The contemporary order that should be famous: "Down funnel, up screw, all hands make sail!"

Regarding repair of damaged tongue and groove armor, if you’ve ever tried to replace damaged tongue and groove wooden flooring, you’ll appreciate the problem.
