BALKAN WARS - THE NAVAL STRUGGLE (1912 - 1913)

''...The publication of this album has relied solely on the Museum's valuable photographic and archive material. The idea was to present , together with the official and more familiar photographs of the period, a number of unpublished, lesser known ones, showing warm human moments among the crews of the vessels, the real heroes, and next to the texts describing the glorious chapters in the country's history, certain unpublished documents and records of an everyday nature that may be of lesser importance but which vividly bring to life the unknown side of the seamen's day - to - day activities aboard the fighting ships and requisitioned merchant vessels that took part in the great national struggle...''
