HMS 'Waterwitch' and her hydraulic propellors. Built in 1866 at Thames Ironworks, Blackwall, HMS 'Waterwitch' had a novel hydraulic propulsion system which discharged water amidships on either side of the ship. It was reported that these jets of water could propel Waterwitch at up to 9 knots and made her extremely manoevreable.
