Hango Trophies at Woolwich Arsenal, 1856. 'On...the last visit of her Majesty's ship Blenheim, to Hango [Hanko, Finland], Captain Hall, C.B., with the gun-boats Snap, Stork, and Lark, under his orders, landed in the ship's boat, and brought away various mementoes in the shape of cannon and mortars, a Russian sentry-box, &c...as memorials of the [Crimean] war. The cannon, consisting of nine large and four smaller guns, had been sunk by the Russians in about three fathoms and a half of water, when the fort was dismantled in the previous year. They were very quietly and safely recovered by a boat's crew from the Blenheim. A body of Russian troops on shore looked on during the operation, but were kept from interfering by a wholesome fear of the Blenheim's guns. The sentry-box is painted in alternate stripes of black and white - having, of course, the Imperial eagle over the door'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
