Does anybody has any photos-drawings of the Greek ironclads Vasilefs Georgios & Queen Olga? I can find only 2 pics but no any drawings of these ships. |

I would be very leery of this drawing. Many similar artistic pieces have only a vague similarity to the real thing.

Besides this colorful version, I found several similar different design on different sites. So i'm quite sure it's accurate. What I am certain is that the two ships are not a homogeneous class and are very different. |

For sure these two ships were not similar designs! Vasilefs Georgios was a central battery ironclad & Olga was a full deck battery similar with HMS Warior & La Gloire. Thanks for the help guys. |

That's from "Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905", p. 387 Sorry for rather poor quality. ![[ img ]](https://www.dropbox.com/s/7eo75726cam6s67/greece1860conways.png?dl=1)
