A ship's gun fires; wrecks burn in a fjord

Through an opening in a ship's superstructure a gun turret fires, flash and smoke veiling the mountains; in a fjord below steep, snowy slopes the bow of a sunken ship rises from the water while other ships burn and send up smoke; on a grey expanse of water a line of small boats crosses towards a distant shore. The older catalogue assigns the scene to Narvik, whose harbour was full of sunken German and merchant ships after the battles of April 1940.
