The scenes opens by showing the battleships maneuvering for a position. They finally draw up in line of battle and commence firing on the shore batteries. Immense volume of smoke arise from the fleet and from the distance shore. Shots are seen to fall thickly among the vessels and immense bodies of water are thrown up by the explosion of mines.

*** (out of 4)

Another ambitious war short from Edison shows a group of ships maneuvering for position as they get ready to do battle. This naval film is pretty exciting as it runs three-minutes and for the most part it contains all action. Seeing these older boats is an interesting piece of history but the actual battle scenes are also quite nice. The dust and smoke being thrown into the air by the bombs are quite a site for the eyes so I think silent film buffs will get a lot of entertainment out of it. The cinematography isn't too bad either.
