"pulled off"?Terry Thorgaard (talk) 17:28, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[edit]

I suspect the phrase should be transitive, thus "pulled [the cruiser] off from where it had been grounded", or something like that. I am therefore going to change it.

Bulgarian Coast?Terry Thorgaard (talk) 18:02, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[edit]

I was puzzled as to how these ships could be off the Bulgarian coast in 1915, as France was at war with Turkey at that time (and the Bosporus would have been closed to the French). The answer is that this port is on the Western coast of Thrace. Perhaps an explanatory note would be in order.
