But the colour of the hull and the number of masts are correct :)

You have to go a bit to the south: Adrieke is/was/used to be Flemish ;)

Bingo - you've got it. I thought you may have used the clue in the original post as to the ship's name. The Australian National Maritime Museum is in Sydney, and they have an exhibit of all the "HMAS Sydneys" that existed (see here).

 

Over to you David.

You have it Barnacle Bill,

 

Was it as easy as that?

 

Just to complete the story - The ship was supposed to have the heaviest broadside of its time, and Brazil was the third country, after England and the US, to obtain Dreadnought type ships.
