London Times, 18 September 1908, p. 6: NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Extract. The Russian [cruiser? ooops!] RURIK has arrived at Libau, having accomplished the trip from Greenock within a week, despite heavy weather. After taking in stores she will proceed to Kronstadt, and probably on the way will be inspected by the Tsar. Capt. Stetzenko conveyed to the Vickers firm congratulations on the construction of the cruiser.
