EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the Naval Attack on the Russian Fort of Petropaulovski in Kamchatka during the Crimean War in 1854. The photograph, which is of unknown origin, showcases a number of French and English warships, including the 'L'Obligator,' Virago,' Eurydice,' and 'Pique,' engaging the Russian fortification. The Allied squadron, seeking to determine the whereabouts of the Russian fleet in the Pacific, successfully destroyed two batteries and captured three vessels. The human cost of this intense battle was significant, with 209 men from the Allied forces killed, wounded, or left on shore. The English vessels are reported to have fired an astonishing 3,000 balls during the engagement. Although the Russian losses were heavy, they have yet to be definitively ascertained. The ultimate objective of the fleet was not to take Petropaulovski, but rather to gather intelligence on the Russian fleet, which was discovered to be in harbor at the mouth of the river Aznoor. This revelation alleviated concerns for English vessels in the Pacific, as there was no immediate danger present.
