About this book
A Naval Venture, with the subtitle The War Story of an Armoured Cruiser, is by T. T. Jeans. The preface says the writer has endeavoured to write a gun-room tale which will give a general impression of the part played by the Royal Navy during the Dardanelles operations, and of gun-room life under these conditions. The preface says the writer was greatly assisted by many shipmates, and that from their accounts it has been possible to bring into the book descriptions of some interesting incidents and operations.
A character called the Orphan takes shelter in the lee of the conning-tower, thinking of the warmth and gaiety of a dance he had been at the night before. The text says that on a Saturday, the 22nd May, the first German submarine actually made its appearance off the Peninsula.
