Summary/Abstract: On May 30, 1910, during the stopover of the passenger "Împăratul Traian" belonging to the Romanian Maritime Service, in the Greek port of Piraeus, the ship was vandalized by a crowd of Greek boatmen and rowdies, the crew members and passengers being mistreated and robbed. This unprecedented act of vandalism scandalized both Romanian authorities and society as well as Western public opinion. Against the background of older dissensions and the interruption of relations between the two states, Greece procrastinated until June 27, 1910, granting the satisfaction demanded by Romania and settling this diplomatic conflict.
