“THEY WERE SENT TO US BY HEAVEN, NOT THE SEA!” HOW RUSSIAN SAILORS RESCUED INHABITANTS OF THE ITALIAN CITY OF MESSINA

On December 28, 1908, there was an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 centered in the Strait of Messina between Sicily and the Apennine Peninsula. As the result, the cities of Messina, Reggio Calabria and Palmi were destroyed. That earthquake is still considered to be the strongest in Europe: according to various sources, one to two hundred thousand people died that time.

Those were the days when Russian warships - two battleships, the Tsesarevich and the Slava, and two cruisers, the Bogatyr and the Admiral Makarov - were in the Mediterranean Sea for military training exercises. What is more, their crews consisted mainly of recent graduates of the Marine Corps of Peter the Great and the Engineering Institute. Such composition can be explained by the critical need to train personnel for the command squad of warships after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, which had weakened the navy. The two-month exercises in the Mediterranean were to provide yesterday’s cadets with required experience.

Väike seeria üldnimetusega Laev, aga korjasin paarist kastist sinna kokku igasuguste vee peal liikuvate või hulpivate inimkätega valmistatud veesõidukite pilte, mille kõigi täpsemat nimetust ma alati ei teagi... ja kõik mis sellega seotud on...  kui puri, siis purjekas, kui aer, siis paat, kui korsten, siis juba laev, jne, osad kunstnike tehtud, osad fotod kunstiteoste järgi, jne... panen kirja mis tean või parasjagu silma jääb... Ümberpildistuste kvaliteet täna üle keskmies kehva, aga edaspidi ehk läheb valgemaks... suure pildi pealt peaks kõik probleemid ja vead näha olema... Happy hunting, merekarud :-) ... sarnaseid seeriaid tuleb ilmselt veel...
