Boat Attack, by H.M.S. "Gorgon" on on of the Aland Isles, 1854. Scene from the Crimean War: Royal Navy attacking Russian position in Finland. Sketch...from an officer of the Baltic Fleet, represent[ing] a gallant affair...when H.M.S. Gorgon, unsupported by the fire of any other ships, cut out eight of the enemy's boats. In the gig were Captain Cracroft, and Mr. Llewellyn, Assistant-Surgeon. In the cutter, Lieutenant Michell; and in the pinnace, Mr. Royse, midshipman. The pinnace threw several shell amongst the trees; and the fire from the other boats was so well directed, that the enemy would not show themselves. In the Sketch the cutter is represented pulling in under fire of the other boats. The loss of the enemy was unknown: they fired very badly. There were no casualties on the part of the English'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
