Project history: A three-funnelled protected cruiser with marked tumblehome, a pronounced plough bow and an overhanging stern. There was a forecastle and poop and she was originally rigged as a barque. The 165mm guns were on the upper deck with two in embrasure ports forward and the rest in sponsons, while the 139mm were on the main deck broadside.
Ship protection: The protective deck was complete and of 50mm total thickness, with 55mm on the slopes which ran to 1.3m below water. There was a 1m wide cofferdam above the protective deck, and 90mm bulkheads from this deck to the upper deck enclosed the main deck battery. There was a CT with 90-75mm.
Modernizations: 1900: boilers were replaced by 12 Belleville, coal stowage reduced to 980t, mainmast was removed.
