THE SEA DIVISION HISTORICAL LOG BOOK (1901-1915; 1920-1934). AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT HELD IN THE ROMANIAN NAVAL MUSEUM PATRIMONY

Summary/Abstract: During his life time, 1896-1943, The Sea Division was the witness or maybe evens the creator of a very important moment of the Dobrogea history and of the maritime history, moments carefully recorded in The Sea Division log book. The original document is held in the Romanian Naval Museum patrimony and it was kept for two distinct periods: 1901-1915 and 1920-1934. The Sea Division is a big strategically and tactic unit of the Navy founded at February 26, 1896, through the reorganization of the Fleet Corp (constituted at October 20, 1860) from his separation in two big distinct units: the Sea Division and the Danube Division. In his first composition the Sea Division was composed from: the Arsenal with the Personnel School, the Torpedo School (The Mobile Defense), the Maritime Harbors Defense and all the sea ships (the “Elisabeta” cruiser, the brig “Mircea”, the gunboat “Grivita” and the torpedo-boats “Sborul” and “Naluca”). By successive reorganizations, The Sea Division became, in time, a large unit, very complex and his missions were the Romanian littoral defense in cooperation with other Romanian army forces categories and also, to have fight actions against the enemy ships in his responsibility zone.
