English: Battle of Kinburn (1787)
A view of the Battle of Ochakov and Kinburn, on 12 October 1787. Russo-Turkish War (1787-92); Austro-Turkish War (1787-91). The explanatory text to this view is at RCIN 734105.c. This is one of a set of images comprising RCINs 734105.a-o. For more information on the composition of this set, see RCIN 734105. This view is taken from the south, looking over the narrow sandbank which formed the southern shore of the Dnieper estuary, known as the Kinburn Peninsula, towards Ochakov on the northern bank. Kinburn fortress was garrisoned by the Russians under the command of Alexander Suvorov. The Ottomans attacked with three 60-gun ships of the line, while their troops were brought in on 23 transport vessels. Suvarov's 1,500 troops were reinforced later in the battle by cossacks and the Turks were defeated, losing about 4,000 men. Широкорад А.Б. Русско-Турецкие войны (под общ. ред Тараса А.Е.)
