This striking image captures the fearsome presence of the Tigre, a warship of the French Navy from the late 19th century. Dated back to 1874, this steam-powered vessel was specifically designed for coast protection, making it an essential asset for the French maritime defense. With its aggressive-looking design, the Tigre was sure to intimidate any would-be invaders, as its formidable guns and imposing size were more than enough to deter potential threats. The Tigre was part of a new generation of warships that marked a significant shift in naval warfare, as steam propulsion replaced sailing ships.
