EDITORS COMMENTS
Kagoul" du contrebandier... c1915" (The Chase of Turkish Sailing Ships in the Black Sea; Seized by the "Kagoul" of the Smuggler... c1915) is an evocative and enigmatic photograph from the First World War era. The image, of unknown origin, was published in "La Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," a French publication documenting the war. The photograph captures a dramatic moment of naval warfare in the Black Sea during the First World War. Two Turkish sailing ships, their sails billowing in the wind, are being pursued by a French warship, the "Kagoul," a term used for a type of smuggler or corsair. The French vessel, with its modern guns and advanced technology, towers over the traditional Turkish ships, highlighting the contrast between the old and the new. The scene is set against the vast expanse of the Black Sea, its dark waters reflecting the turmoil of the war. The photograph captures the intensity and danger of the chase, with the Turkish ships attempting to evade the French warship, while the crew on board the "Kagoul" prepare for the seizure. The photograph is a testament to the naval warfare that took place during the First World War, with the Black Sea serving as a strategic location for conflict between France and Turkey. It also highlights the role of smugglers and corsairs in the war, who often took advantage of the chaos and lawlessness of the seas to profit from the conflict. Despite the lack of information about the creator of the photograph, the image is a powerful reminder of the events that took place during the First World War and the role of the Black Sea in the conflict. It is a visual snapshot of a bygone era, one that continues to fascinate and intrigue us today.
