Scope and content
History of the inventor: The cruiser squadron formed on 23.01.1897 was initially under the command of the Navy. After its dissolution in 1899, the squadron commander received for his area the powers previously exercised by the commanding admiral. The squadron was destroyed on 08.12.1914 near the Falkland Islands. Characterization of content: The stock also contains previous records of the cruciferous division as well as ad hoc cruciferous associations. Of particular value is the coverage of Zanzibar, West and East Africa, the Philippines and East Asia including Kiautschou. There are relatively extensive files on the use of the squadron in the Chinese Boxer Uprising 1900-1901 and the blockade of Venezuela 1902-1903. Only fragments of the war files have been preserved.
