Quick Facts

History & Context

History The upperdeck looking aft from the forward bridge, port side. Warrior has two bridges - thin walkways stretching across the beam of the ship - one forward between the fore and main masts and one aft, between the main and mizzen masts. The bridges are unprotected and completely open - a long way from the air-conditioned remote-control of a modern ship's bridge. Warrior was navigated from the forward bridge - and controlled in action from the after bridge by the Captain and senior officers. Orders were passed by mechanical telegraphs (to the engine room) and voice-pipes. An armoured conning tower on the upper deck level just behind and below the after bridge provided for protection for the Captain in the event of close action (entrance to the armoured tower is from below) - there are holes in the thick iron plate to observe the action).
