Légende

The War in Eastern Asia: the Mitsubishi Dock at Nagasaki, where captured Chinese men-of-war are sent for repair, 1895. From a sketch by Mr. E. J. Rosevere, H.M.S. "Mercury." 'Mitsubishi Dock is where the Chinese men-of-war which were captured at Wei-hai-Wei are being repaired. The dock really belongs to a private Japanese company, but the Government has now the first call upon its resources. The ship shown in the dock is the armed merchant cruiser Saikio Maru, with the two yards on her foremast down...As to prospects of peace, it seems that many of the conditions have received assent from the Chinese officials, and that there is an earnest desire on the part of the more sagacious Japanese statesmen to terminate the warfare, which has incurred an enormous expenditure already, and must be still a heavy tax on the nation, even if it ended immediately'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
