Not much use for a trebuchet, squire, on a Ship of the Line.

H.M.S. St. Lawrence, 112 Gun First Rate Ship of the Line.







The most powerful warship the Royal Navy ever built in the age of sail, was Canadian.

Treb porn?

How about cool GoPro-shot rocket porn?

They launched that from right up north of me.

Might be, but then there is the Flagship of the Royal Navy.



Although it would have been interesting to see the Agincourt firing away at Jutland, last in the line. People recall it looked like the whole ship exploded when it fired it guns.

Interestingly, I saw this ship when it was mothballed and a museum in Washington state. Then it went on to service again. Remember that those guns were HUGE and the 16inch shells were taller than me.

H.M.S. St. Lawrence, designed and built at the shipyard in Kingston Upper Canada, only to sail Lake Ontario to deter the Americans as a Dreadnought, bigger and badder than H.M.S. Victory therein.

The ultimate British Ship of the Line, was a Man o' War for the confederacy amongst the red and green maples, which won the war and lived to tell the tale.

The Total War series Naval battles give some little understanding ...of things like having the advantage with the wind. Actually the naval battles are better than the land battles in the series.

Impressive coastal combatant then.

Impressive coastal combatant then.

Lake Ontario is an inland sea, wider than the battlespace between Britain and France, if a battle on Lake Ontario is "coastal", then so is a battle off Cape Trafalgar, and although H.M.S. St. Lawrence only fought one battle before the Americans refused to come out and fight her, that battle was far more decisive than Nelson's at Trafalgar, nary a shot fired.

Victory by sea denial, turning the tide of the war, as she was so big and bad, the Americans simply surrendered the field, fleeing in the face of her.
