Construction
Friedrich Carl was designed by her builders, the Société Nouvelle des Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée at La Seyne. She was iron-hulled with transverse and longitudinal framing and eight watertight compartments with a double bottom covering 76 percent of the hull. She had three masts with a barque rig, while her machinery consisted of a single two-cylinder horizontal single-expansion engine powering one four-bladed propeller and driven by six trunk boilers.[9]
Friedrich Carl was launched on 16 January, 1867 and was completed by autumn of the same year.[10]
Service
Friedrich Carl commissioned into the fleet on 3 October, 1867. During the Franco-Prussian war her rigging was removed apart from her lower masts.[11]
