This detailed technical engraving of the Battleship "H.M.S. Dreadnought" has
been diamond engraved into black polished aluminium. The profile line drawing
has taken many hours of digitising by our team of experienced designers.
Mounted onto a 9" x 7" verneered plinth it is easily fitted to the wall

In 1905 the British Admiralty approved plans for the worlds first Dreadnought.
Taking just one year to build it was the first battleship to be powered by
turbine propulsion system, which gave her a speed of 21.5 knots during her
trials, which compared to the earlier battleship speeds of 17 to 18 knots.
HMS Dreadnaught was the flagship of the the 4th battle squadron at the outbreak of
World War One and on the 18th March 1915 she rammed and sunk the German U-Boat
U29in the North Sea. HMS Dreadnaught missed the Battle of Jutland as she was in
refit
due to her poor condition and in August 1917 she was transferred to the Navy Reserve.
Finally sold for breaking up in May 1921. and finally scrapped in 1923.
