The Ironclad warship, one of the most powerful vessels in the Royal Navy, is represented here as it was being equipped for its maiden voyage.

This illustration was published in the Illustrated London News, providing a glimpse into the industrial prowess of the time. The ship, with its imposing size, was a testament to the technological advancements in naval warfare and shipbuilding during the 19th century. The print offers a fascinating insight into the intricacies of shipbuilding, with the Alexandra's intricate details and the workers meticulously toiling away to bring this marvel of engineering to life.
