Légende

The Dardanelles - Fort of Chanah-Kalesi, from the Middle of the Channel, 1850. 'Perhaps, of all the eight batteries that guard the channel, the most formidable is that of Chanah-Kalesi, or the Inner Fort of Asia' [in modern Turkey]. View of '...the celebrated fortifications of the Dardanelles, erected on both sides of the Hellespont, which from them takes also the name of the Strait of the Dardanelles. This Strait, which divides Europe from Asia, and unites the Sea of Marmora to the Archipelago, extends in a south-west direction upwards of fifty miles in length'. Illustration provided by a '...correspondent on board her Majesty's ship Caledonia, in Bashika Bay'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
