Sunday Morning Service in the Baltic Fleet, 1856. Crimean War: 'Throughout the routine of life at sea there is not a more impressive scene than that of the Sunday Morning Service on board a ship of war, such as Mr. Carmichael has sketched...The association of the character of the ship, its object and purpose, with the peaceful aspect of the religious service, is calculated to fill the mind with grave reflection and solemn thoughts. Although such scenes are not favourite passages in a seaman's life, with the writers of nautical adventures they are occasionally sketched with vivid power and lifelike character...As a contrast to the fury of the siege and the fierceness of the attack, we are persuaded that the solemnity of Sunday Morning Service at Sea will be acceptable in our Gallery of Illustrations of the War'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
