Attended by the Meiji Emperor, the review was staged by the Imperial Japanese Navy to celebrate Japan’s victory over the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. It was one of the largest fleet reviews in Japanese history, with more than 160 vessels taking part, including several British ships. The chart incorporates diagrams and tables in both Japanese and English and clearly indicates the positions of the Emperor’s vessel alongside those of the participating warships.
