Plan of Ta-Lien-Whan Bay, captured by the Japanese on November 5, 1894, (1895). Sketch by Mr. Loftus C. O. Mansergh, H.M.S. " Undaunted", 12 November 1894. Map showing armed transports, gunboats, torpedo boats and 'Torpedo Depot ship'. 'It seems like ancient history to refer to the subject of the Illustrations on this page. They represent an important event in the Corean War - the taking of Ta-lien-whan Bay by the Japanese [navy]. This occurred on Nov. 5, [ie British Bonfire Night] 1894, an appropriate date for such an achievement. Ta-lien-whan was defended by 3000 infantry and 180 cavalry, but the Chinese forces acted with great cowardice, flying like sheep towards Port Arthur. The Japanese attacked Ta-lien-whan from the land side, and their losses only numbered ten killed and wounded. Marshal Oyama had, therefore, a complete and easy success, rather to his own surprise, as the defensive works were extensive. The first division of his army captured Kinchow, and to the second division fell Ta-lien-whan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
