In this scene, ships belonging to Britain's Royal Navy relentlessly fire upon Odessa during the Crimean War. The image conveys both the might and devastation brought about by naval warfare in the 19th century. Amidst billowing smoke and raging waters, one can almost hear the thunderous roar of cannons as they rain destruction upon their target.
