EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Hewlett, C.B. of H.M.S. "Edinburgh" is depicted in this 1856 illustration from the "Illustrated London News," skillfully directing the movements of the gun-boats "Snapper" and "Stork" during the Crimean War. The black and white image, sketched by James Wilson Carmichael, captures the intensity of the moment as the British naval force prepares to bombard a Russian three-decker between Gustafsvern and Bartholomew. With a determined hand gesture, Captain Hewlett signals the crew to load their cannons and prepare for action. The sailors respond swiftly, attending to their ramrods and ropes, while the gun-boats are positioned strategically in the water. The scene is lit by the dim light of the night, with plumes of smoke rising from the steamships and the faint glow of lanterns on the boats. The image offers a glimpse into the intricacies of 19th century naval warfare and the critical role of commanders like Captain Hewlett in executing successful attacks.
