Abstract

In the study the role and meaning of certain light ships used during the World War I on the Baltic Sea was showed. The main focus was on two problems: war light ships – as a notion that is unfamiliar to Polish military terminology as well as the usage of light ships in a German landing operation known under the name of “ALBION” as well as other actions. Some photographs and profiles of the described vessels were included into the study.
