The Upper Deck of HMS Terrible as seen from the Fore
Bridge Looking Aft
In order to obtain these unique illusrations, the camera
was first placed at the starboard end of the fore bridge, and the picture
seen on the left made; the camera was then carried over to the port side
and a corresponding view taken. The funnels, mast, and ensign staff
are, of course, the same in each picture. The fore bridge is more
than 70ft in length and some 50ft above the water. |
