Remains of the floating Battery Etna at Messrs Scott Russell's, Millwall
Print depicting workers dismantling the floating battery HMS 'Etna' (1854) at John Scott Russell's Millwall yard. Floating battery vessels were used for harbour or river estuary defence. They were either purpose built, or old, unseaworthy vessels. It was at this yard that Brunel's 'Great Eastern' was built. This may be a woodcut print from the 'Illustrated London News' or similar publication.
