The Steamer on Fire and the Heroic Beaching Hero

Adrianople Aims and Defenses Through History and Terrain
Adrianople sits at the confluence of the Tundra Maritza and Arda about 135 miles from Constantinople. Its population ranges from 80 000 to 140 000 with Turks Bulgarians Greeks Jews and Armenians. Von Moltke notes its defenses are weak parts of walls and gardens but rivers can anchor a fortified defense with large troop concentrations. The city is visually striking with mosques mosques baths and caravansaries above flat roofs and plane trees while the surrounding countryside offers valleys hills vineyards and orchards.
