Yachts war e and combat

They disappeared in the mid-nineteenth century, With a few small units (sloops, coastguards, for example.

Too small, too slow and too fragile, they will gradually give way to powered vessels Joint (sail and steam), then ship Steam, too heavy to be propelled by sails: battleships, for example.)

Gradually, the supply of fuel has steadily become a problem, thanks to the emergence of supply ships (which are , them stayed longer sailboats: it was not logical that they consume a significant portion of coal transported).

One of the vessels representing the end of warships sailing is the battleship HMS Warrior visible in Portsmouth (photo below ) : big, heavy ship already heavily veiled but equipped with machines that enable performance as important as the veil. The propulsion of the vessel would only have to sail, but never in combat. But this battleship has never had to fight with England finally made peace with France (it was the Entente Cordiale). It was a bit at the time, the equivalent forces current nuclear deterrent. However, HMS Warrior has inspired the development of powerful ships of the First and the Second World War. They have had them terribly destructive effects.

Before this "monster", the warships were made of wood, the largest fought by following "the tail-leu-leu "so we talked about buildings line . 2 enemy lines followed paths more or less parallel, or diverging, or converging, the strategically. He was then to destroy the enemy with cannon, usually fired by lined (all cannons on one side pulling together). Very little directional, or no, the big guns were completely ineffective against a target that was not abeam. Only small guns (carronades) located on the upper deck were adjustable, but with range and destructive power limited.

Larger ships, vessels senior as Victory (Also museum in Portsmouth), were armed with a hundred guns spread over 3 decks. These guns were classified by size of the balls thrown (12 to 32 pounds). The wing was of a three-masted, much less divided than that of a three-masted 20th century, his maneuver required a very large number of topmen because he had, in addition, set all sails same time. Below is a photo of the Victory at Portsmouth in 2002.

The training ship Italian Amerigo Vespucci has a silhouette that recalls the great vessels of the 19th century, he remains not a single copy and was built in 1931, steel, using methods obviously more modern than century ago.

3 masts square rigged as ships, frigates were thinner and the guns were split on one pont.Le three-masted American Rose is a fine example of a frigate. Hermione, being built in Rochefort, is also a frigate.

The Grand Turk is a replica of a British frigate in 1841.

Even smaller, corvettes were also rigged with 3 square headlights. The beautiful little Russian frigate Shtandart , répliqe from that designed by Tsar Peter the Great, might rather be seen as a corvette.

Note that the current ranks of naval officers are still based on these types of vessels: ship's captain, Commander, Commander.

Smaller still, the bricks were only two masts, rigged with square headlights. The brick school Royalist is built on the model of the brigs of war (but the superstructures are those a training ship).

The war schooners were fast and more maneuverable than larger boats. They were used as couriers, boats and patrol boats on (coastguard, avisos). This is the case The Recouvrance , a replica gunboat used to track the slave ships.

HMS Pickle was a courier who became famous Trafalgar in relation to England the announcement of victory, and death of Admiral Nelson. The photo below shows Elena Maria Barbera , a replica of the schooner built Petrovadodsk (Russia) in 1995. English and become renamed Sting , the schooner is one of a series of five almost identical yachts.

As for Baltimore Clippers, whose replica is Pride of Baltimore they dared to attack British ships much larger than that them, during the War of Independence.

Finally, we can not discuss the warships while forgetting privateers, who practiced (their name suggests) the war of race, pursuing and capturing the enemy vessel. It was sunk when it showed no interest, or recovered with its cargo. Privateers were obviously faster boats than the average: frigates, corvettes, schooners and cutters. The last ship of Robert Surcouf was a topsail cutter named The Fox : his reply is now maviguant emblem of the city of Saint Malo. The units were privateers sometimes ships built by them, sometimes captured ships.

The pirates had roughly the same techniques as the corsairs. But they were off-the-law everywhere, while the pirates had the protection of the sovereign of their country, they were rich and honored. But they could very well be regarded as pirates by the enemy country ...
