The steam-powered Agincourt battleship was among the last warships built with sails, which were used to supplement the engines on long voyages. Her four nine-inch and 24 seven-inch rifled guns were arranged in a long, armored battery - one of the last times such a gun configuration was used, as rotating gun turrets came into widespread use shortly thereafter. Originally fitted with muzzle-loading guns, she was converted to breech-loading weapons later in the 1860s. The Agincourt survived well into the 20th century, and was finally broken up in 1960.
