"Iron Duke" made in the side of H.M.S. "Vanguard" off the Wicklow coast last autumn; also similar dimensions, &c, rent by the prow or spur of H.M.S. "Hercules" in the side of H.M.S. "Northumberland" off Madeira, Christmas 1872; and, further, with the view to elucidate the water-tight arrangements, structural, 1870 and typical difference of construction, that the same be accompanied with shaded and perspective midship sectional plans of both the "Vanguard" and "Northumberland" class of ships, illustrating the "wing-passage bulkhead," its purposes and uses, and such other descriptive details as published at pp. 284–5, chap. 12, of the late Chief Constructor's Text Book on "Our Iron-clad Navy?"
