| Description: |
On the 10th October 1904 the Russian Baltic fleet set sail for Port Arthur. Captained by a burnt-out, neurotic, crewed by sullen , ill trained sailors, at sea in a vast armada of badly built and equipped ships, this is the story of the Russians who sailed half way around the world. |
| Synopsis: |
On the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 Russia's Baltic Fleet was sent to the aid of embattled troops in Russia's Chinese enclaves. The two fleets met at Tsushima on May 27, 1905.Most thought the Russians would have little trouble defeating Japanese naval forces. What followed was perhaps the greatest naval victory of all time. The acclaimed author of The Bounty has written another gripping tale of the sea. |
