The Battle of Kinburn, on October 17, 1855, was an attack by a joint Anglo-French naval force on a Russian<br />
fort guarding the mouth of the Dnieper river estuary (modern Ukraine). The battle is regarded as early<br />
evidence of the importance of ironclad ships. The French ironclads pounded the fort to destruction in four<br />
hours, and yet suffered only minor casualties in the process because their armoured hulls were able to<br />
withstand the defensive fire of the Russians. Not recorded thus on COPAC. £300<br />
