This image is a triptych woodblock print depicting a dramatic naval scene from the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). The artwork shows a warship under attack and sinking amidst turbulent waves. In the top section, the ship is in chaos, with sailors struggling amidst explosions and heavy gunfire. Numerous ropes and nets create a complex web across the ship, highlighting the pandemonium. The ship is tilting dramatically, with water pouring onto the deck as sailors grasp onto the ship's structure to avoid being swept away. This part of the scene captures a sense of urgency and disaster, as the ship succumbs to the assault. The middle section depicts the ship further leaning, almost vertical, with sailors falling into the sea. The ocean waves are forcefully crashing against the ship's hull, indicating the fierce battle with the elements and the enemy. The water and ship's hull create sharp, angular lines, emphasizing the violence of the sinking catastrophe. The bottom section shows the aftermath below the surface of the sea. The ship is almost fully submerged, and one can see the ocean floor, adorned with seaweed and underwater flora. A mast or other ship structure is depicted reaching down to the seabed, symbolizing complete defeat. This part provides contrast to the chaotic upper sections, symbolizing stillness and finality in the depths of the ocean. Overall, the image is a powerful depiction of a naval battle, illustrating the chaos and drama of war, while also conveying the somber conclusion with the sunken ship resting on the sea floor.

This image is a traditional Japanese woodblock print, split into three distinct panels arranged vertically and depicting the sinking of a large ship. In the top panel, we see the ship at an extreme angle, almost vertical, half-submerged in the sea, and tilted to the right. Sailors are depicted in various states of peril, some are falling into the sea, whilst others cling to the ship’s rigging. Dark, troubled skies and waves enhance the sense of disaster. The middle panel continues to show the overwhelming power of the ocean, with the stern of the ship sinking beneath the waves. The sea is portrayed with dynamic lines indicating strong currents. Sailors are falling, portrayed in midair against the waves, while a lifebuoy, labeled "Naniwa," floats in the foreground. In the bottom panel, the viewer is taken under the water to a calm and dark seabed, where parts of the wrecked ship rest. Amidst the wreckage, marine plants sway gently, and an anchor is settled on the seabed. Two stone memorial tablets can be seen, and texts are written in both Japanese and English, explaining that the flags were destroyed and Admiral Makarov drowned. The English text at the bottom reads: "The Flags of the shipwrecked Russian man of war 'PETROPAVLOVSK' destroyed by the torperdo of our navy and Admiral Makaroff drowned." Stylistically, the artwork resonates with the tradition of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. The print likely commemorates a historical event involving a Russian ship named the 'PETROPAVLOVSK' during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), and references the Japanese victory by depicting the destruction of the Russian vessel and the death of a significant figure, Admiral Makarov.

This is a Japanese woodblock print triptych (three-panel artwork) depicting a dramatic naval battle scene. The top panel shows a sinking ship with sailors clinging to its tilting masts and rigging. The ship appears to be in distress with its blue and white flag visible. In the middle panel, figures can be seen falling or jumping into the turbulent waters, with what appear to be signal lanterns or buoys floating in the sea. The bottom panel shows a misty, atmospheric seascape with waves and rocky outcrops, and a single lantern or buoy line extending down from above. The style is characteristic of Japanese ukiyo-e art, with subtle gradations of color and dramatic composition. There's Japanese text in the upper right corner of the top panel. The artwork appears to document a naval engagement, possibly from the late Edo period or early Meiji period when Japan was beginning to encounter Western naval powers.
