Originally published in 1908. FROM LIBAU TO TSUSHIMA is a narrative of the voyage of Admiral Rojdestvensky's fleet to Eastern Seas, including a detailed account of the Dogger Bank Incident. Admiral Rojdestvensky, or Zinovy Petrovich Rozhestvensky (November 11, 1848 - January 14, 1909) was an admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy. He was in command of the Second Pacific Squadron in the Battle of Tsushima, during the Russo-Japanese War. Under Admiral Rozhestvensky's command, the Russian navy holds the record of steaming an all-steel, coal-powered battleship fleet over 18,000 miles (29,000 km) one way to engage an enemy in decisive battle (Battle of Tsushima), selecting the Knyaz Suvorov, one of four brand new battleships of the French-designed Borodino class, as his flagship for the voyage to the Pacific.- Wikipedia The Battle of Tsushima, also known as the Battle of Tsushima Strait and the Naval Battle of the Sea of Japan in Japan, was a major naval battle fought between Russia and Japan during the Russo-Japanese War. It was naval history's only decisive sea battle fought by modern steel battleship fleets, and the first naval battle in which wireless telegraphy (radio) played a critically important role. It has been characterized as the "dying echo of the old era - for the last time in the history of naval warfare ships of the line of a beaten fleet surrendered on the high seas."- Wikipedia The Dogger Bank incident (also known as the North Sea Incident, the Russian Outrage or the Incident of Hull) occurred on the night of 21/22 October 1904, when the Russian Baltic Fleet mistook some British trawlers in the Dogger Bank area of the North Sea for an Imperial Japanese Navy force and fired on them. Russian warships also fired on each other in the chaos of the mel�e. Three British fishermen died and a number were wounded. One sailor and a priest aboard a Russian cruiser caught in the crossfire were also killed. The incident almost led to war between Britain and Russia. - Wikipedia

Excerpt from From Libau to Tsushima: A Narrative of the Voyage of Admiral Rojdestvensky's Fleet to Eastern Seas, Including a Detailed Account of the Dogger Bank Incident Involuntarily, one is impressed by the sincerity and justice of the author's tone. As he thought, so he wrote. His style is very simple and graphic, despite its fragmentary nature. The author was a constructor, not a sailor. This was his first Cruise. His views Of all that he saw are those of an independent person, bound by no traditions or clannishness. They appear to be absolutely impartial. In addition, through his position on the staff he knew much that remained unknown to others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As a mixture of the tragic and the farcical, the 1904-5 voyage of an antiquated Russian fleet halfway around the world, only to be destroyed by Japan at the battle of Tsushima, is hard to beat in the annals of military incompetence. The squadron, under Admiral Rojdestvensky, set off from northern Russia with orders to locate and sink the Japanese. However, their first inglorious encounter was with a group of British fishing vessels near the Dogger Bank in the North Sea. The Russians mistook the peaceful trawlers for Japanese warships and opened fire, damaging the boats and almost causing war with Britain. When the Russians eventually reached the Far East they were attacked and destroyed within a few minutes by modern Japanese firepower at the battle of Tsushima - rightly seen as ushering in hi-tech 20th century naval warfare, and the arrival of Japan as a major power. This book is based on the posthumous letters to his wife of Eugene Politovsky, Engineer-in-Chief to the Russian fleet, who was killed in the battle. They give a graphic account of life in the chaotic Russian fleet. Tsushima presaged the crushing defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War which touched off the 1905 Revolution - a dress rehearsal for 1917.
