The Daily Dispatch: April 7, 1864., [Electronic resource], The Danish iron-clads under fire. (search)
The Danish iron-clads under fire. --The European papers contain an account of the repulse of the Danish turreted iron clad Rolt Krake by the Prussian land batteries at Eckernforde on the 17th of February. She was built at Glasgow, in Scotland, she is covered with four and a half inch iron plates, is of twelve hundred tons burthen, draws sixteen few water, and has two turrets or edpolas, carrying four sixty-eight pounder guns. Apertures at the top of the towers admit light and air; mechanin all directions. One, which burst directly over the tower in which I was stationed, sent in a snower of pieces, which set fire to two mattresses, damaged my frontispiece, grazed my leg, smashed my telescope, and penetrated a coat lying by my side in half a dozen places I am still deaf of one ear from the dia — otherwise not much hurt. One man in each tower was also slightly wounded, and, curiously enough, each in the left check." The Danish batteries are armed with French rifled guns.
