Villeroi Documents
This table dated June 9, 1863, is the summary conclusion of the French Navy Commission that evaluated and rejected Brutus de Villeroi’s design. The Commission’s words are unflattering: “The description of his system shows plainly that he is far from having reached the goal he had set. His ship is completely unnavigable, the artillery could not work, and the saws would never have any useful purpose. The commission deems that de Villeroi’s project cannot sustain the kindest scrutiny and as a consequence NO follow-up action should be given to this submission.”
