Talk:Dogger Bank incident

message: How on earth could anyone think that torpedo boats from japan would be cruising through north sea?
:How on Earth could anybody think that English ships would cruise through the China sea? Naval warfare was increasingly global at the time, even for nations without spread-out colonies. With tenders, it could have been done. Admittedly far-fetched for the global situation at the time, but the Russians were right to fear the Japanese navy, as was shown in their dismal failure during the Battle of Tsushima.

replies: text: The idea did make it's way into fiction. An American novel entitled "The North Pacific: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War" by author Willis Boyd Allen (1905) a quickie novel designed to exploit the story of the war, has a Japanese torpedo boat disguise itself as a fishing vessel to attack the Russians as they traverse the English Channel.
The forum post where this is discussed is linked below:
(Secret Projects Forum) Fictional Warships - Novels; The North Pacific: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War, Willis Boyd Allen, 1905
The actual novel can be read at Project Gutenberg:
The North Pacific: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War by Willis Boyd Allen
Maybe this can be added to the article as it is a legitimate case of the incident being used in fiction.

thread_title:  Japanese Torpedo Boats In North Sea? 

message: This article should mention that this is the same fleet that was comprehensively beaten in the Battle of Tsushima. There isn't even a reference to Tsushima at all in this article. Roger (talk) 07:31, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

message: In reference to teh statue of the fisherman in Hull, the article mentions the '18 feet high statue'. I may be wrong, but from the picture the statue itself looks smaller, and may only be 18 feet high if counting the pedestal? Is that correct usage, or should it rather say '18 feet high monument'?
