In this historical reenactment of a fictional scene from a naval combat during the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, a battle-seasoned officer orders his sailors to assemble on the upper gun deck of a powerful frigate equipped with a gun turret and heavy cannons. Eventually, as the warship rocks from side to side, suddenly, a massive cannonball hits the vessel, heavily injuring a member of the crew.
