Hi Jim,

Very nice finds! To me the first ship looks like a member of the Forbin-class protected cruisers. The second one I would guess maybe an Ocean-class central battery ship?

Very nice.

What's the story with the laundry in the rigging?

Hi guys!

Further to your much appreciated help in ID' ing the RN Battlecruisers et al...

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=34006

I acquired-from an auction house-in a job-lot of other stuff some more intersting negatives
on glass plates

these are very cool indeed

I have ID'd one of the ships--I reckon its HMS Nile....

but the other two are stumpers--although they look like they would make splendid models!!!!!

Anyhow--here are the images--once again cleaned and scanned for me by Jonathan Eastland-of Ajax pictures...

I have resized these copies for MW.com--I have the images MUCH larger ...
