Project history: Designed by Sir Edward Reed, Surveyor to the Navy 1863-70. Both vessels were designed primarily for carrying troops. The soldiers were berthed on the lower deck, and the sailors on the upper deck. In design they resembled the spar-decked corvette Challenger (launched 1855), the type of construction consisting of a light deck in the form of a wooden grill supported on stanchions above the upper deck and forecastle deck. They were ship-rigged, and each vessel had a telescopic funnel. Thalia was the last ship to be built in the historicWoolwich Royal Dockyard, wliich was then closed down.
