The Uniform of the Chief Engineer

From the UK, 1879, a picture of what the well-dressed chief naval engineer should wear. Perosnally, I’m not very good at keeping clothing this good-looking for more than about ten minutes after I put it on, but I wouldn’t mind the sword.

Below, the 1879 launch of HMS Agamemnon, the kind of ship that engineer would be sailing on.
