Beschreibung:

An illustration to a chapter about Russian naval activities on the Aral Sea and the Syr Darya in the 1850s. Original caption: "Russian steam-barges, originally stationed at Fort No. 7, opposite Kungrad on the Syr-Darya". The author may have made a mistake, because today's Kungrad is on the Amu-Darya, not Syr-Darya; possibly, another town (or river arm?) with similar name was meant.
