HDMS Fylla
Danish steam ironclad / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HDMS Fylla was a Danish gunboat, launched in 1862. Fylla was built entirely in wood, rigged as a topsail schooner and equipped with a steam-driven propeller. The propeller could be raised up into a well when under sail. Original armament was turning cannons placed in the midline of the ship, but later replaced by smaller cannons on each side of the ship.[1]
