The Battle of Havana (1870)

I return this week to talk about the Battle of Havana between the gun boat Meteor and Aviso Bouvet during the Franco Prussian War.

This took a lot less time than I planned so I also throw in the story of the Augusta (a Prussian Commerce Raider) and the Nymphe defending Danzig from a French Blockade.
