Hango Trophies at Woolwich Arsenal, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Hango Trophies at Woolwich Arsenal, 1856. On...the last visit of her Majesty's ship Blenheim, to Hango [Hanko, Finland], Captain Hall, C.B. with the gun-boats Snap, Stork, and Lark, under his orders, landed in the ship's boat, and brought away various mementoes in the shape of cannon and mortars, a Russian sentry-box, &c...as memorials of the [Crimean] war. The cannon, consisting of nine large and four smaller guns, had been sunk by the Russians in about three fathoms and a half of water, when the fort was dismantled in the previous year. They were very quietly and safely recovered by a boat's crew from the Blenheim. A body of Russian troops on shore looked on during the operation, but were kept from interfering by a wholesome fear of the Blenheim's guns. The sentry-box is painted in alternate stripes of black and white - having, of course, the Imperial eagle over the door'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hango Trophies at Woolwich Arsenal, 1856," showcases a collection of war memorabilia brought back from Hanko, Finland, during the Crimean War. The scene unfolds at Woolwich Arsenal, where Captain Hall, a distinguished naval officer, led a team to recover various mementos from the last visit of Her Majesty's ship Blenheim. The trophies include nine large and four smaller cannon, which had been sunk in three and a half fathoms of water when the Russian fort was dismantled the previous year. The recovery operation was executed with utmost care and precision by the boat crew from the Blenheim. A Russian sentry-box, adorned with alternating black and white stripes and the Imperial eagle over the door, is also among the recovered items. The photograph, taken from "Illustrated London News" in 1856, captures the moment when the Russian troops on the shore watched the operation unfold, kept at bay by the formidable presence of the Blenheim's guns. This evocative image serves as a testament to the historic event and the bravery of those involved in the recovery of these valuable war trophies.
