Abstract: This article describes two cases where prisoners of war captured in the 1914–17 Black Sea naval conflict were interrogated. In the first case a captured Russian naval officer witnessed an operationally significant event after his interrogation, and covertly reported this via a coded letter. The second case, of an Armenian engineer, reflected a wider Russian practice of capturing and debriefing ‘Ottoman’ sailors. The article sets both cases in the wider context of Russia’s naval campaign against the Ottoman coal trade.
