EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts the Russo-Japanese War flagship, Ting-Yuen, during the pivotal years of 1904 and 1905. The Ting-Yuen was a formidable two-masted, twin-funnelled vessel that played a significant role in the naval battles between Russia and Japan. The Russo-Japanese War, which lasted from 1904 to 1905, was a major turning point in world history. It marked the end of Russia's expansionist ambitions in East Asia and the rise of Japan as a major world power. The conflict began over territorial disputes in Manchuria and Korea and quickly escalated into a full-scale war between the two military powers. The Ting-Yuen was one of the Russian Navy's most advanced warships at the time. Its sleek design and powerful armament made it a formidable opponent on the high seas. In this image, we see the ship's impressive silhouette against the backdrop of the open water. The twin funnels billow smoke, indicating that the vessel is underway and ready for battle. The lantern slide is part of the Boswell Collection, which is housed at Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection is a treasure trove of historical images that offer a unique glimpse into the past. This particular image provides a fascinating insight into the Russo-Japanese War and the role of naval warfare in shaping the modern world. The Ting-Yuen was eventually sunk during the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905. Despite its demise, the legacy of this magnificent warship lives on in history books and in the memories of those who witnessed its majesty on the high seas.
