File:Naval battle.ogv

The factual accuracy of this description or the file name is disputed. Reason: Cinema became practical in 1895, how is possible a moving footage of a naval battle in 1894?

This file couldn't have been taken during the First Sino-Japanese War. The earliest footage of a war was from the Greco-Turkish War (1897) by Frederic Villiers, all of which has been lost. [1][2] This video comes from the Russo-Japanese War. Compare the explosion that begins in this Russo-Japanese War documentary with the file's which starts at 0:02. The smoke dispersal is identical.
