This stunning print captures the gallant affair of the Hecla and Arrogant during the Crimean War in 1854. The scene depicts a daring naval operation as the British ships cut out a Russian barque from under enemy batteries at Eckness. The Arrogant, anchored off the batteries, unleashed a furious cannonade while the Hecla bravely ran in, firing shells at the enemy to secure their target. In a display of skill and bravery, they successfully took the barque in tow and steamed away with her amidst heavy fire.
