Re. 2.7: Arkadi. A couple of problems:

1) The Arcadi (as it was prior to recommissioning by the Ottomans) was never a part of the (then Royal) Hellenic Navy; it was owned by The Greek Steam Navigation Company - a device to keep the Greek Government at arms length from its blockade running activities to Crete - (see the report of the destruction of the Arcadi given by her captain to the Board of Directors of that company printed in The Morning Post (London)Friday 13 Sept. 1867.)

2) Contemporary accounts (Morning Post (London) 5 Sept. 1867) state that the commander of the Ottoman vessel which drove the Arcadi ashore on Crete was Hasan Bey - not Hobart-Hampden.
