The action portrayed here took place in the Dnieper estuary, in the stretch of water between Fort Kinburn, shown in the foreground bottom right, and Ochakov, top left, to the west. This was one of the minor naval skirmishes in this area of the Russo-Turkish War, as each side fought for control of the strategically placed city of Ochakov.
