Kaffa Bay,1854. Creator: Unknown.

Kaffa Bay, 1854. Sketch by Lieutenant C. E. Gordon, Royal Engineers. 'The coast of the Crimea, as the scene of the operations of the Anglo-French troops [during the Crimean War], is at this moment a country of paramount interest. The Bay of Kaffa is one of the places reported as chosen for landing...A low sandy shore forms part of this bay, on the western side of which the town of Theodosia or Kaffa is built...Hagemeister, in his report on the Crimea, published in 1836, says, "The bay formed by the Black Sea at Theodosia is capable of giving shelter to a vast number of vessels, and is sheltered from the wind in all directions save the east; and even when the wind is in that quarter, partial security is afforded by the promontory at the entrance of the Gulf"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
