Eupatoria - Landing of the Crimean Expedition, 1854. Scene from the Crimean War. '"Caradoc"; boat, with staff landing; mosque...[HMS] Caradoc leading, steered straight for Kalamita Bay, and ran slowly along shore at about a mile distance. All the Generals had thus an admirable opportunity of surveying, not only the coast, but the general capabilities of the country further inland. They could also form a good idea of the preparations which had been made to resist them, from the fact that before they had well run five miles along the shore, large parties of horse artillery made their appearance, and kept abreast of them at full speed while they remained inland'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
