The Turkish Fleet in Bashika Bay, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Turkish Fleet in Bashika Bay, 1850....we must not fancy that the Turks have not much better means of destruction now than then. Any prudent man would march his small-arm men and marines with their field-pieces across from Bashika Bay, and decide the matter on shore: against such an attack there is scarcely any provision whatever. Once up through this channel, and the way to Constantinople is clear. The defences of the city for preventing a fleet reaching it from the Black Sea are very strong; and if the ships would only sail down, they would stand a chance of being sunk. But when Russia makes up her mind to attack the city of the Sultan, it will be done by an army landing at the end of the Black Sea, far enough out of range of the castles of the Bosphorus'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts The Turkish Fleet in Bashika Bay, 1850. The image, created by an unknown artist for the Illustrated London News, showcases a number of Turkish sailing ships anchored in the bay, with the rugged coastline of the Dardanelles and the straits of Hellespont in the background. The Turkish fleet, though formidable in its day, appears vulnerable to a potential attack from a superior naval force. The caption accompanying the print in the Illustrated London News warns of the strategic importance of Bashika Bay and the Dardanelles. It suggests that a prudent enemy could easily march their troops and artillery across from the bay and decide the matter on shore. The defenses of Constantinople, the capital city of the Ottoman Empire, were strong against naval attacks, but an army landing at the end of the Black Sea would pose a significant threat. The print underscores the geopolitical tensions of the time, with Russia looming as a potential adversary. The print also serves as a snapshot of naval warfare during the Victorian era. The sailing ships, with their tall masts and billowing sails, are reminiscent of a bygone era, and the image offers a glimpse into the transportation and logistical challenges of moving troops and supplies across vast bodies of water. The print is a testament to the power of the press in shaping public opinion and awareness of global events during the 19th century.
