Greek Warship Trapped in Arta Gulf by Turkish Chain
In the Arta gulf during the Greek Turkish conflict a Turkish force blocks the strait by dragging heavy guns from Saloniki and later anchors a Pellente battleship. A Greek officer disguised as a shepherd slips ashore to free the vessel by secretly attaching a massive chain to a rock and to the battleship, trapping the ship in the landlocked waters. The plan succeeds as dawn reveals the chain securing the ship, preventing Turkish fortification of the strait.
