Summary

Description
English: Portsmouth Point Part of the fortifications viewed from Broad Street.

In the centre of the photo is the Hecla Stone monument. Inscription:

During the Russian War (1854) a landing party
From HMS HECLA was attacked by a large body
Of Cossacks and many would have fallen had it
Not been for the courage of two sailors who
Taking cover behind this stone kept the enemy at
Bay until the safety of the whole party was assured
Captain HALL had this boulder carried to his ship and

Transported to Portsmouth.
