Mimi and Toutou Go Forth — the Bizarre Battle of Lake Tanganyika

[摘要] Spring of 1915 and Europe was convulsed by war. In Central Africa the longest of the Great Lakes of the Rift Valley, Lake Tanganyika was a German fiefdom, Tanganykesse. An affront to the new First Sea Lord, Sir Henry Jackson — ‘It is both the duty and the tradition of the Royal Navy to engage the enemy wherever there is water to float a ship.’ First, find your water. No shortage of that in Lake Tanganyika. Four hundred miles long, a mile deep, and big enough for tides to influence climate.
