Detention of Turkish Transport Fand Near Candia Sparks Crete Tension
Victorian dispatches report Greek warship intercepting the Turkish transport Fand as it neared Canea with munitions for the besieged garrison. The unarmed vessel was ordered to stop, fired upon, and forced back to harbor amid Greek protest from the British fleet. Prince George of Greece arrived at Canea to assume command, with calls for foreign ships to land troops. Army reserves from 1893 and 1894 were drafted, infantry artillery and engineers sailing from Piraeus for Crete, while London papers debate imminent Graeco-Turkish war and Western powers’ role in Crete’s fate.
