EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of the Battle of Tsi-Yuen during the Russo-Japanese War. The photograph, taken between 1904 and 1905, depicts a damaged Russian warship, likely a cruiser or destroyer, with its hull riddled with bullet holes and its mast and rigging in disarray. The once proud vessel now lies listlessly in the water, a testament to the fierce combat that took place in this strategic harbor. In the foreground, a lantern casts a feeble light on the scene, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The lantern, along with the smoke rising from the ship's wreckage, creates a haunting contrast against the tranquil water and the clear, star-filled sky. The Battle of Tsi-Yuen was a significant engagement in the Russo-Japanese War, fought between Russia and Japan from 1904 to 1905. The war arose from territorial disputes over Manchuria and Korea, and Tsi-Yuen was a key battleground due to its strategic location on the Liaodong Peninsula. The battle saw the Japanese Navy inflict a decisive defeat on the Russian fleet, marking a turning point in the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost and destruction that war brings, as well as the indomitable spirit of those who fought in it. The image is part of the Boswell Collection, held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and provides a unique and valuable insight into this pivotal moment in history.
