Contact us about this object

Description

British ships join an allied joint fleet headed for the Black Sea at Cork to fight in the Crimean War. In the center, the 'St. Jean d'Acre' performs a ship's salute, perhaps for the small sailing vessel labeled as 'Queen' in the bottom margin. The 'St. Jean d'Acre' also flies a series of maritime signal flags. Various named screw and sail propelled vessels surround her; the names are indicated right underneath the image and correspond to the ship above.
