Légende

The Breaking Up of the Agamemnon, No. 1, 1870. One of the last wooden hulled warships built in England. This 91-gunship served as the flagship in many naval battles and, in 1857, was a participant in the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cable. She is shown here moored in the Naval Arsenal at Deptford for demolition. At her left, before the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, is the 'Dreadnought', an ancient man-of-war that served at the battle of Trafalgar; anchored in the Thames since 1831, she served as a hospital ship for invalid mariners.
