Dardanelles: Mediterranean Sea
built 133 days ago
The British submarines in the Dardanelles did not restrict themselves to just the sea. E-11's number 2, Lieutenant D'Orly Hughes, went on land and destroyed nearly fifty metres of the Berlin to Baghdad rail line. However, this made the Turks even more vigilant and the rail line became even more heavily guarded. Towards the end of the Dardanelles campaign, the E-class submarines still in the area were fitted with twelve pounder guns. These were used to attack ships and ... land targets. E-7 destroyed two troop trains at Kava Burnu and the Gulf of Ismid.

The presence of British and Russian vessels at the mouth of the Dardanelles caused Sebastiani to begin overseeing the improvement of the Turkish shore batteries. When Duckworth entered the Dardanelles on the morning of February 19, these batteries commenced firing on the British. However, the absence of significant numbers of Turkish troops, due to the end of Ramadan, meant the batteries were ineffective and the fleet quickly reached the Sea of Marmara.

The impact of the submarines in the Dardanelles was mainly psychological. For a very short period of time there were only four submarines in the Sea of Marmora. Two of these were lost (AE-2 and E-20) but the Turks always believed that eleven submarines were operating in the area.

Preview: This scenic hike traverses beneath the intriguing Dardanelles, a striking volcanic formation rising well over 1,000 feet above the surrounding heavily forested landscape. The Dardanelles are part of the lava flows that buried this region millions of years ago. Since much of the volcanic material has been removed by repeated episodes of glaciation, the Dardanelles stand like a volcanic island in a “sea” of granite.

In February and again in March British warships tried to force their way through the Dardanelles. Their plan was to get aid to Russia by way of the Black Sea. Both attempts were unsuccessful (see Dardanelles).
