Overall Project Evaluation

The already not too successful project was worsened by not very good quality of construction, expressed both in overload (which in those years, however, almost no ship of any fleet avoided), and in numerous defects. It was the design miscalculations, coupled with the marriage of the performers, that were the main cause of the death of the ship, which deserved from its contemporaries the caustic characteristic: “One mast, one pipe, one gun - one misunderstanding”.
