Title: Colbert Redoutable
Description: Photo #: NH 74956 Colbert (French Battleship, 1875), left center, and Redoutable (French Battleship, 1876), right center Moored off Brest navy yard, France circa the late 1870s or early 1880s. The two battleships are as first completed, with ship rigs. An armored cruiser of the Victorieuse class is moored off Colbert's port side, with only its lower masts in place. A coast defense ship (probably Tempéte) is moored off Redoutable's port side. Note the dockyard equipment and ships' rudders on the quay in the center foreground.
