Pictures from the S/S Dwinsk (ex. C. F. Tietgen)


- Heinrich (Henry) Ioganowitsch Arnowitz / Edwin Arnowitz


Snapshot taken by Heinrich (Henry) Ioganowitsch Arnowitz. He was born in Riga, Livonia, Russia. He took the pictures during 1917 on a WW1 convoy from Halifax to Great Britain when the ship sailed under the name "Dwinsk". They had on board soldiers of the Polish Legion. At that time the Dwinsk sailed under Cunard management and all the gun crews were British, apparently since the British Admiralty did not trust the Russian sailors after the Revolution.
