The 'Argus' Towing The First Russian Prize into Portsmouth Harbour RMG PU6192
Summary
The 'Argus' Towing The First Russian Prize into Portsmouth Harbour
Print, looking towards old Portsmouth, with the Round Tower on the right and the naval steam sloop 'Argus' towing a Russian merchant vessel in. The latter has what is (presumably ) the red ensign - the usual senior Royal Naval one at the time - flying over Russian colours at the peak. The print presumably records the first prize taken at sea in the Crimean War. [PvdM 9/11]
