| Description |
English: Embarkation of Artillery on Board the "Argo," at Balaclava, for England. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 12 July 1856. After Robert Thomas Landells, British (1833–77).
The artillery going onboard the Argo. The dismasted ship in the foreground is the Medora, of London, which rode out the gale on November 14th, 1854, when the Prince was lost. The masts were cut away, and the hulk being saved it was purchased by the Admiralty for a coal hulk. She is used as a prison ship for the water police originated by Admiral Boxer. The guns were dismembered and hoisted from one of the Government horse flats up the bows of the Argo. The horses were then led singly up a gangway, across the Medora, on to, the Argo, and then slung and put down into the hold; the soldiers and sailors working at the tackle to the merry notes of the ship's fiddle- a few Turkish hamels, or porters, forming the foreground. They were hauled out, and started next morning, being towed out by a Government tug. Read the ILN |
