Draken Harald Hårfagre
Draken Harald Hårfagre () is a large Viking longship built in the municipality of Haugesund, Norway. "Draken Harald Hårfagre" brings the seafaring qualities of a warship from the old Norse sagas to life. It is a ship that combines ocean-crossing sailing capabilities with a warship's use of oars.
SMS König Wilhelm
Laid down at the Thames Ironworks shipyard in London, England in 1865, the ship was originally ordered by the Ottoman Empire as the "Fatih". The ship was built to a design created by the British naval architect Edward Reed. Before her launch, the Prussian Navy purchased the ship on 6 February 1867 and initially renamed it "Wilhelm I". On 14 December 1867, the ship was renamed again, as "König Wilhelm". She was launched on 25 April 1868 and commissioned less than a year later, on 20 February 1869. The ship's first commander was "Kapitän zur See" Ludwig von Henk. The ship was the largest and most powerful vessel in the Prussian fleet, and served as its flagship. Indeed, "König Wilhelm" remained the largest German vessel until 1891. This was in part due to the fact that Germany laid down only one small ironclad between 1876 and 1888; the four s, launched in 1891 and 1892, were the first ships to surpass "König Wilhelm" in size.
