| Text for the above items : |
The B11 torpedoes the Turkish battleship Messoudieh. Having reached the middle of the Narrows just before noon, Lieutenant Holbrook brought his vessel cautiously to the surface. At the periscope projected above water torpedo craft were seen in the distance, and a Turkish battleship lay at anchor on the inner side of the minefield. The B11 dived on sighting the latter, and the men made ready to discharge torpedoes from the tubes in the bows. The submarine then slowly rose to the surface, so that Lieutenant Holbrook might again sight the battleship. Having got his craft into the line with the Messoudieh, he gave the order to release a torpedo. At the same moment the enemy detected the periscope, and ships and forts opened a heavy fire. But the B11 which was too quick for the enemy was soon grating along the bottom at a depth of only thirty feet. |
