The Event
On January 18, 1913, the Greek fleet defeated an Ottoman sortie off Lemnos.
The Wider Campaign
The naval victory helped keep Ottoman ships inside the Dardanelles and strengthened Greek control in the northern Aegean.
The maritime setting
The position of ports, shipping routes and nearby coastlines shaped what fleets could do. A local naval victory need not decide the land campaign.
