EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of salvage operations underway for the Ottoman battlecruiser "Mecidiye" in Odessa harbor during the First World War. The date is estimated to be around 1915. The "Mecidiye," a proud symbol of the Ottoman Navy, lies stranded in the water, damaged and in need of repair. A flotilla of support vessels, including chalands and steam-powered pumps, work together to drain the water from the battlecruiser, preparing it for lifting onto the floating dock. The image, published in "L'Illustration" Volume CXLVII, January to June 1916, offers a glimpse into the gritty reality of naval warfare during this pivotal period in world history. The Ottoman Empire, once a major power in Europe and the Mediterranean, is now struggling to maintain its military presence amidst the chaos of the First World War. The "Mecidiye," like many other ships of its time, bears the scars of battle, a poignant reminder of the cost of conflict. This historic photograph, from the Collection de la Guerre IV, invites us to reflect on the complexities of war and the resilience of those who fought in it.
