Warships in a fjord and gunfire at dusk

Beyond the rail and davits of a ship a large warship with a tall superstructure lies in a fjord before a range of mountains; in the half-light the mast and searchlight platform of a ship stand dark as a gun flashes beyond; on a broad stretch of water a warship fires, smoke and flame rising amidships, while a second ship lies to the right. The older catalogue assigns the scenes to the battles of Narvik: in the Ofotfjord British destroyers attacked the German destroyers on 10 April 1940, and on 13 April a British battleship and its escort sank the rest.
