The First Naval Battle Between Ocean Liners, 1914

In the run up to the First World War, many ocean liners were designed so that they could be easily converted to auxiliary cruisers.  Two such vessels met off the coast of Brazil in September of 1914. The History Guy recalls the first naval battle between ocean liners.
