Ironclad Océan | 1870 18th Century and a bezan yacht beyondThis photograph depicts the French ironclad Ocan, around 1870. A powerful vessel of the Ocan class, she combined traditional full sail rigging with iron armor and heavy artillery, marking the transition from wooden ships of the line to modern steel warships.
