Popis:

German sailors during blockade duty in Souda Bay, Crete. Following the repeated uprisings by the Cretan people, in 1889, 1895 and 1897, the Great Powers decided to restore order by governing the island temporarily through a committee of four admirals. Germany sent the armored warship SMS Oldenburg to Crete. It operated with Allied ships from early January 1898 until being recalled in March (SMS Oldenburg is not the ship visible in the right background). On 25 August 1898, a Turkish mob massacred hundreds of Cretan Greeks, the British Consul and 17 British soldiers. As a result, the Turkish forces were expelled from the island by the Great Powers in November 1898.
