EDITORS COMMENTS
Le 'Goeben' contre le torpilleur 'Schastlivyi' (21 Sept. 1915): A Distant and Gradual Disappearance from the Horizon" This evocative photograph captures the intensity of the naval battle that unfolded between the German-Turkish cruiser 'Goeben' and the Russian torpedo boat 'Schastlivyi' on September 21, 1915, during the First World War. The image is taken from the collection of 'La Guerre' IV, published in 'L'Illustration' Tome CXLVII, January, February, March, April, May, and June 1916. The 'Goeben,' a powerful German battlecruiser, is seen in the distance, emitting plumes of smoke from its funnels as it engages the Russian torpedo boat, the 'Schastlivyi.' The latter, a smaller but nimble vessel, is shown in the foreground, with its torpedoes ready to be launched. The water around the ships is churned with the wake of their movements and the aftermath of the battle. The 'Goeben,' named after the ancient Greek general, was a formidable warship that had been sold to the Ottoman Empire by Germany in 1914, in defiance of the Triple Entente powers. The ship's presence in the Black Sea was a significant threat to Russia, and the ensuing battle was a crucial moment in the naval warfare of the First World War. The photograph captures the tension and drama of the moment, as the 'Goeben' gradually disappears into the horizon, leaving the 'Schastlivyi' and the chaos of the battle behind. The image is a testament to the power and might of the naval forces during this period and the strategic importance of the Black Sea in the conflict. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the events of the First World War and the role that naval battles played in shaping the course of the war. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in military history.
