Steamer pictures - Russian Minesweepers No.7 (ex-Triton) and No.8 (ex-Moon)

Recommended Posts

I'm currently researching the naval war in the Baltic. I'm trying to locate pictures of these two requisitioned merchant steamers. They were taken up on the outbreak of war and sunk whilst sweeping in the Baltic on 22 September 1914. Based on Lloyd's 1915 list I believe that they are:

Triton (Тритон); the Windau registered ss.Triton of 1890, built by Stettiner Act.Ges.

Moon (Моон); the Riga registered ss.Moon (ex-News, ex-Livland) of 1880, built by Act.Ges 'Vulcan' of Stettin.

Any assistance gratefully received.
