The Dogger Bank Incident or Russian Outrage
The Dogger Bank Incident (or Russian Outrage') occured on the 22nd October 1904, when the Russian Fleet (sailing to reinforce the 1st Pacific Squadron stationed at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War) mistook 48 harmless British trawlers at Dogger Bank for an Imperial Japanese Navy force, leading to the loss of life of three British seamen, two by drowning and one from shock a year later. This card shows the damaged trawler Moulmein and its crew, lucky to have returned to port alive. For the full photograph (beter quality) see: 12021405
