Substantive Description

The armored cruiser "Georgios Averof" belonged to the Pisa-class of ships and was built in Italy during the transitional pre-dreadnought era. Originally ordered by Brazil in 1907, it was acquired by the Royal Hellenic Navy in 1909. The ship served actively in the first half of the 20th century, especially during the Balkan Wars in 1912-1913. It played a key role in the battles in the Aegean Sea, giving the Greeks superiority over the Ottoman fleet, and its presence in these waters became a symbol of Greek maritime power on the eve of World War I.
