Funnels Russo Japanese Belching
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lantern slide captures the intensity of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) as seen from the deck of a Russian battleship off the coast of Retvisan, Russia. The ship's funnels belch thick plumes of smoke into the sky, a testament to the intense steam power driving the vessel forward. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of naval warfare during this pivotal moment in history. The Russo-Japanese War was the first major military conflict of the 20th century, pitting the Russian Empire against the Empire of Japan. The conflict arose from territorial disputes in Manchuria and Korea, and the battle for control of the seas proved to be a significant turning point. The Russian fleet, shown here, attempted to break through the Japanese blockade of the Port Arthur harbor, but was ultimately unsuccessful. The image offers a unique perspective on this historic event, allowing us to visualize the sights and sounds of the war from the vantage point of the Russian ships. The smoke-filled sky, the churning waters, and the looming silhouette of the battleship all contribute to a sense of drama and tension. This lantern slide, with its captivating composition and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the events that shaped the modern world.
