Hello
I have an ex work friend who has now retired but is undertaking a master course at a UK university, he is an ex Royal Navy Officer and has a PhD so has a very good educational, historical and naval background.
His masters is on the effect of HMS Warrior, politically, strategically, technically and militarily on the US Ironclads during the American Civil. See the website on HMS Warrior below,
www.hmswarrior.org
I would like to put out to my fellow Treefroggers a request for any information, links to papers, books and texts. He will be over in the states, Charleston in May 17, giving a presentation on HMS Warrior and other British Museum ships in Portsmouth, including HMS Victory, Mary Rose and HMS M33.
An aside, HMS M33 is an interesting ship, an M29-class monitor, Royal Navy built in 1915. She saw active service in the First World War and in Russia during the Allied Intervention in 1919. She was used subsequently as a mine-laying training ship, fueling hulk, boom defence workshop and floating office, being renamed HMS Minerva and Hulk C23 during her long life. She is one of only three surviving Royal Navy warships of the First World War and the only surviving ship from the Gallipoli Campaign. www.nmrn.org.uk/exhibitions-projects/monitor-hms-m33
Please send me anything you think would be useful, thank you in advance for your help.
