Is that a spar torpedo that the crewman is extending?

thanks Helen :D
and Gents...........

Marianas it is indeed a Spar Torpedo..mosr effective if the dteam launch made contasct with the enemey boat!
BTW
the actual crew in the box will be the Captain potrayed and two sailors
on sitting open handed but holding a shovel for the coal and another
with hand on the tiller..again open handed so can be used to hold pole etc

The "naval power" is simply wonderful - especially the gunboat.
