Chinese Boatmen at Port Arthur
Chinese boatmen in the Port at Lushunkou, a district in the municipality of Dalian, Liaoning province, also called Lushun City or Lushun Port, formerly known as both Port Arthur and Ryojun. During the Russo-Japanese war, the Russians surrendered Port Arthur to the Japanese after nearly a years siege: the Japanese expended 58, 000 killed or wounded to obtain the town. As can be seen here, Lushunkou boasts an excellent natural harbour, the possession and control of which became a casus belli (justification for the act of war) during the Russo-Japanese War ). Date: 1904
