The Bombardment of Sveaborg - Officers on the Island of Tona Miola - sketched by J. W. Carmichael, 1856. Scene from the Aland War, part of the Crimean War. On Sunday afternoon, August 12, H.M. steam-vessel Lightning, Lieutenant James Campbell, proceeded to the island of Tona Miola, with Admirals Dundas and Seymour, and several other officers, for the purpose of seeing, if possible, the damage done to the rear of the town of Sveaborg [near Helsinki]. The Admirals and officers landed on the island, and were almost immediately seen from the Russian batteries, who commenced firing on them, and also on the Lightning. Their fire was most accurate, at a range of near 4000 yards; but it did not prevent the Admirals from accomplishing their purpose, for they saw the work of destruction effected by our gun and mortar boats". From "Illustrated London News", 1856
