What wreck?

An old Chinese man probing for shellfish at Port Arthur about early 1905. Scarcely noticed behind him is the wreck of the Russian battleship Peresviet. What struck me is the total unconcern. Here, the Japanese and the Russians were fighting over his home and could he give a shit?

The Peresviet was wrecked by Japanese 11" howitzers. The Russians beached her so they could use her guns as static artillery. She was later repaired and used by the Japanese as a training ship.
