On board the Turkish battleship Osmanieh. The Osmanieh with her three sister ships Azzizieh, Mahmoudieh and Orkanieh were built on the Clyde or Thames during the 1860s and displaced 6,400 tons. The photograph shows the Osmanieh with captain Faik Bey standing by the companion, with the second in command further behind, while the men are at their quarters under the orders of the lieutenants working the guns, maintaining the barbette and climbing up the shrouds. Her upper works have been cut down fore and aft, thus making a citadel for the secondary armament, while barbettes were built at either end, each for a 9.4 in Krupp breech-loader. | |
