Sinking of SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse
The Battle of Río de Oro was a single-ship action fought in August 1914 during the First World War. The British protected cruiser attacked the German auxiliary cruiser off the small Spanish Saharan territory of Río de Oro.
==Background==
Under the command of Max Reymann, the German ship was originally a passenger liner, built in 1897, part of the German merchant fleet until requisitioned for service at the outbreak of World War I and fitted with six 4-inch guns and two 37-millimeter guns. The German vessel set steam for a commerce raiding mission in the Atlantic Ocean.
Commanded by Henry T. Buller, the British ship was a protected cruiser built in 1898 with eleven 6-inch guns, nine 12-pounder guns, six 3-pounder guns and two torpedo tubes. She had been detached to support the 5th Cruiser Squadron in hunting the German raider.
