H.M.S. "Miranda", and her Prizes, in Litscha Bay, Russian Lapland, 1854. Crimean War: Royal Navy ships bring home booty after destroying the town of Kola. View of the Miranda with two captured Russian schooners. Four luggers were set on fire as they were '...unnavigable to England...The Bay is picturesque and snug, about thirty-five miles from the mouth of the river Kola...[After the attack] it was a tremendous scene of destruction; the buildings, stores, and monastery all in flames, and each bell, as their stupendous beams burnt through, fell to the bottom of the tower, tolling its last knell. There were seven bells. One of these has been brought home by the Miranda...The date on it is Anno 1656'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
