That dazzle pattern on HMS London is really effective. It makes her look like a sloped casemate ironclad.

George & Rick:

I took your advice & ordered World Warships in Review thru Abebooks. Thanks for the advice.

Regards,

G. Shoda

I agree with Rick a great book. Title and ISBN is:World Warships in Review, 1860-1906 (ISBN: 0356080765
At http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchR ... &x=83&y=10 there are 14 copies from $24 bto $87 dollars.

Great topic

Cheers,
George

A good book of quality photographs, if you can get hold of a copy, is World Warships in Review 1860-1905, by John Leather. published in 1976, it contains 133 photographs taken by Beken of Cowes, who were renowned marine photographers. Well worth looking out for, especially if, like me, you're a pre-Dreadnought fan.

Thanks Dave & Martin for sharing your very nice pictures. It is amazing what is available out there. In the old days, pictorial books about battleships always ran the same old dark indistinct photos. I used to think that there must be a shortage of good battleship portrait photography. I wonder why those authors did not do a better job of searching for photos.

Hi, The one of IRON DUKE I have it taken from the other side,

by **MartinJQuinn** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:27 pm

I would have never guess Tiger!

The other guesses make sense - thanks.

Here are some more:

: HMS Collingwood

: HMS Iron Duke

: HMS King George V (WW1, obviously)

by **G Shoda** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:35 pm

Martin:

My guess: KGV, Canada, Tiger, Tiger.

Looks like you were very fortunate to obtain these photos. I don't think I have seen them before.

by **MartinJQuinn** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:17 pm

From some postcards I recently won on e-bay. Anyone know which ships these are?

: Unknown British Battleships Late or Immediately Post WW1

Also, two scans of Tiger. More to come (of various ships) as I have the time to scan them (and learn how to use my new scanner).
