description: The crew of the World War I German surface raider Emden had one of the greatest adventures in naval history-- for three months it seriously impeded British operations in the Indian Ocean. The Emden sank two warships and sixteen merchantmen, captured four colliers, shelled the harbor at Madras and raided Penang. In the end seventy-eight British ships were required to run her down. Even being captured left the gallant crew undaunted.
