World War 1 Warships

In WW1 the ships were very big. The ships that went to Gallipoli were huge war ships. Most of the ships had at least two huge cannons. The ships also had machine guns and turrets on them to shoot at the enemies on the cliffs.

On the way to Gallipoli the ships carried the soldiers then put them on to the ships’ landing crafts and then lowered them down into the water to be taken to the beach. Sometimes the sailors would mistake the allied soldiers for enemies and shoot them.

At the end of the war the ships came as close as they could to shore to pick up all the landing crafts and take the remaining soldiers home.
