EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and historic image captured in this 19th century black and white print. The scene unfolds on the Black Sea, off the coast of Bulgaria, during the Crimean War. The Royal Navy's mighty fleet is seen arriving with British soldiers, ready to embark on transports for the front lines. The ships in the print include the "City of London," carrying the 41st Regiment, the "Megaera" and "Vulcan," bearing the 30th Regiment, a hospital ship, and various English transports. Among the naval vessels are the "Emperor" and "Montebello," which transported the 7th Fusiliers, and the "Admiral" leading the fleet. Other ships, such as the "Tynemouth" of the 4th Regiment, "Star of the South," "Dunbar" of the 79th Regiment, and the "Retribution," are also visible, making their way towards the shore. In the background, Turkish fortifications can be seen, adding to the sense of tension and anticipation. This engraving was originally published in the "Illustrated London News," providing a vivid and detailed account of the war effort. The panoramic view offers a unique perspective on naval warfare during the 19th century and the role of water transport in military strategy. This print is a testament to the historical significance of the Crimean War and the impressive logistical capabilities of the Royal Navy during that era.
