Canopus

1901. A typical Victorian colour scheme for a ship of the day. Sometimes the masts

would be yellow ochre as on the funnels, and then shades of brown (light to dark) were also in

use. There were a few cases in the 1870s and 1880s where the funnels were painted all black, but

this was rare in battleships.

Queen,

1912, showing standard funnel bands (for recognition).

Swiftsure
