We assign this cabinet to, perhaps, HMS Zealous, launched in 1864 and decommissioned in 1875. She was laid down as a wooden, two deck, 90 gun ship by Pembroke Royal Dockyard in the United Kingdom. Later converted and cut down a deck to become a steam powered, armoured frigate with ship set sails. Sailing to Esquimalt, headquarters of the Pacific Station, in 1867 she was to be the flagship to match the French deployment – the only British 'ironclad' to sail further than the Mediterranean. Returning in 1873 she was refitted and became Southampton's guard ship for two years until paid off.
