Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Danish torpedo boat Delfinen was photographed at Thornycroft's Yard at Chiswick in 1883 and a woodcut of the photo found its way into the English Engineering magazine on December 28, 1883, page 580. The woodcut was copied by The Mechanical Engineer in New York in its January 26, 1884 issue (page 13), along with a detailed description of the boat - unfortunately not quite correct because most of the original article referred to a somewhat similar boat built for Russia. The sails were solely rigged for the journey across the North Sea to Denmark.
