Description UP ALOFT: A SCENE FROM AN ARMOURED TOP. Here the spectator is perched high up above the sea in the upper main-armoured-top of H.M.S Royal Sovereign. He can almost look down the two great funnels whose tops are io rather too close proximity. Far below in diminishing perspective are the Captain's bridge, and beyond it again the forecastle of the ship. The boats hanging on the davits look like toys, while even the 6-pounder quick firing guns in the fore-top look very small, though to anyone who cares to mount to the top the size and solidity of the little fortress in mid-air will probably give the most marked impression. The Royal Sovereign is one of seven battleships of her class, The Hood, which resembles her in most respects, forms the eighth member of this powerful group.
