Wooden hull?

A wooden hull on a ship of this size built in the 1890s seems unlikely. This and this contemporary newspaper accounts both refer to the ship being built of steel, while the 1906/07 Jane's Fighting Ships refers to the ship being "sheathed and zinced" - which corresponds to British use of wood and copper sheathing for ships intended for colonial service.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:46, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conway's says "zinc-sheathed, timber hulled ship", though I did come across something last night that corresponded to Jane's - it does seem unlikely that it was an entirely wooden hull. Parsecboy (talk) 16:31, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
