Mutiny on the Potemkin Sparks Black Sea Revolt
A mutiny aboard the battleship Potemkin near Odessa led to the captain and officers being killed and overthrown by the crew. Mutineers seized control, fired on the city, and ships in the harbor burned as workers rose in revolt. Reports say other battleships may have mutinied at Sevastopol. The incident followed abuse of sailors by the captain over rations and food as the crew demanded redress.
