The first turret warships and the loss of the Captain

This week’s podcast is on a very Victorian research and development problem that led to disaster. The evolution of the Turret mounted warship dreamed up by Captain Cowper Coles which led to HMS Captain and the ensuing shipwreck.

Apologies if the sound is a bit off this week, not quite sure what went wrong!
