Fort Nottich, Bomarsund - Breach made by an English Three-gun Battery - from a sketch by O.W. Brierly, 1854. Crimean War: view of the Russian-held Notvik Tower and Prasto Tower in Finland, after bombardment by the Royal Navy. The principal object in the view is Nottich, the northern fort of Bomarsund, showing the breach made by...three 32-pounders, worked by English blue-jackets and marine artillery, under command of Captain Ramsay of the Hogue...from the position of English guns upon a hill, about 800 yards to the westward of the fort: it shows what three ship's guns, worked by our men behind sand-bags did against the dreaded Russian stone walls in a few hours. The Sketch is one of more importance than appears at first glance, as it bears upon the question of English guns versus granite walls'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
