- W2557519480 abstract "In 1882, New Zealand's colonial government purchased four torpedo boats from J.I. Thornycroft and Co., a British firm that specialized in the manufacture of such craft and boasted an impressive clientele - including the national navies of Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, among others. These small, manoeuvrable, steam-powered vessels had their origins in the American Civil War (1861-1865) and were specifically designed to attack large warships within the confines of harbours and inland waterways. They utilised a bow-mounted 'spar torpedo' which, quite unlike the guided, self-propelled weapons of today, was essentially a canister containing several kilograms of black powder affixed via a long pole or 'spar' to the bow of the torpedo boat. During an attack, the spar would be extended forward of the bow as the torpedo boat crew attempted to ram the explosive charge at its forward extremity against the hull of an enemy vessel (Gray 1975: 79-80). Torpedo boats were an integral component of the New Zealand Government's efforts to develop coastal defences for the colony's most important ports, and part of a larger Australasian response to regional threats and other defence-related concerns. Foremost among these were perceived Russian military designs on British territories in the South Pacific, the withdrawal of Imperial British troops from Australia in 1870, and subsequent rumours of potentially aggressive foreign naval deployments to the region (Nicholls 1988)." @default.
