The great disadvantage to a nation in not possessing a large merchant marine, in which seamen may become thoroughly educated, is also clearly exemplified in the mishap that occurred in 1878 to the Prussian squadron on its way to the Mediterranean. This consisted of five ironclads, all of large size, and very costly ships. One was obliged to return soon after leaving port, and there remain. Another came to grief in the Noith Sea and had to return. The "Kcenig Wilhelm, " an immense ship, original...ly contracted for in England by the Turkish, and afterwards purchased by the Prussian Government, col- lided in the English Channel with the 4i Grosser Kurf urst, " the latter going immediately to the bottom, causing a great loss of life, and the former only able to reach the port of another nation in a disabled condition.
Continued and very costly efforts have heretofore and are still being made by three of these powerful nations to provide for themselves a navy. Neither Russia nor Prussia has suitable]woods for the purpose, and Italy has not the iron ; hence they have been compelled to resort to England and the United States for war vessels.
