Our Fleet Crushing the Chinese Fleet off Dagushan

Kobayashi Ikuhide (mentioned on object), 1894

In September 1894 Japanese ships attacked the Chinese Northern Fleet off the Chinese-Korean coast. Although the Chinese vessels were larger and had more powerful artillery, they were no match for the swifter Japanese warships. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but after a battle lasting five hours the Japanese victory was a fact.
