another failure from Admiral Popov, the Royal yacht Livadia.
As the ship - it is simply a disgrace. But the basic idea of building a ship was a floating palace. From this perspective, the ship turned out well. For small walks royalty - better shape not find! The round shape of the hull is kept very stable on the water.
And now about "another failure". The "Novgorod" and "Admiral Popov" were built in very great haste on the eve of another Russian-Turkish war. The main objective of these ships was to protect the coast. During the storm at sea, these ships could fire. At the time, like a Turkish ship the gun deck flooding ...
Thus, speaking about the ship he is bad or good should be clear about what it will be used. He is not fit for patrol duty, where necessary speed and maneuverability. It is not suitable for sea freight, because it is not economical, waste a lot of coal.
But as a floating palace, or self-propelled floating battery - why not?

The former Pride and Joy of the state I now live in,Oregon. The BB3 Oregon- a pre-Dreadnaught Battle ship is not bad in my either. She was not the most sophisticated of designs by European standards- but a fellow club member has an out standing scale model so I get to learn a lot about her and see his model sail..
his model under way ( with the later modified cage mizzenmast)
I sure like the Tzarevich also--- love the old hull designs!!
And even the night lighting is on this model! Wow!!!
I like old navy ships with steam engines. My favorite era is 1850-1920.
Mogogear, do not think badly of me - but the name of the ship correctly spelled "Tsesarevich", not "Tzarevitch". It means "son of Caesar." Russian word "Tzar" comes from the Latin "Caesar".
Thank you for the link. I added it to favorites in browser.

For me the Turbinia, (built on my home river of the Tyne), a steam turbine, once the fatest steam turbine in the world

Good to hear you enjoyed them, I love the music too Greg.
Strange, even weird, to see the submarine take that Schooner down, but it was a propaganda film. _________________ See you in Sala.
