Halpern
Halpern's got plenty to say about the ship's activities in December 1914 and March 1915 on p. 267 of A Naval History of World War I. 23 editor (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I've expanded that aspect, let me know what you think? Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 08:24, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Photo
This article is probably in need of a picture to illustrate the topic. Does anyone know if there are any pre-1923 p.d. photos out there? 23 editor (talk) 02:27, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * There's this site carrying few images where name of the ship "Bodrog" is shown on the hull, or as an inscription on a postcard, with the ship flying Austrian flag - i.e. they must have been taken by 1918. Will that do?--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:40, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Alternatively there's this IWM image, where the caption identifies the ship as Bodrog, but no flag appears to be flown there, and the hull inscription is not visible.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Finally, Hungarian wiki contains this image reportedly of SMS Bodrog in 1904, however the source link there is dead, and there's little to confirm the vessel is indeed Bodrog. Admittedly, it looks like it, but it could be another ship of the class. As a side note, there's an image on this site (28.03.2011. - 14:50 entry), where the top image depicts monitor Sava (on the viewer's right, name visible on the bow). The image appears (and is reported) to be a postcard. Now there's a possible way to date it - the inset images appear to me as images of the ruling king. The one in the bottom image (not containing Sava) appears to be Alexander I of Yugoslavia, while the one in the top might be Peter I of Serbia (judging by this image of him - making the postcard presumably pre-1922.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:06, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Great finds! thisone has a postcard painting of the bombardment of Belgrade by the Sava. Do you guys have a preference as to which image we should use? I'll look into the licensing stuff. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 12:16, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Great! They all look like great photos. We should probably stick to one that clearly identifies the ship as Bodrog, as opposed to one taken from a distance. 23 editor (talk) 12:36, 16 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The IWM image appears to be the best in terms of quality of the photo itself and might be the best candidate for the lead image. I suppose the IWM may be trusted source in terms of trusting its caption, regardless of everything else. Both of the images where she flies Austrian flags (the first site linked in this talk section) appear nice - but the one with the stern and the hull name close up might be a fine addition. Of course the one after the renaming would also be nice, except I find the inset image detracting from its quality (i.e. making it non-lead material). But that's just my 2p.--Tomobe03 (talk) 12:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, the IWM photo looks alright for inclusion. 23 editor (talk) 17:08, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you please have a look at this image and tell us whether it is possible to use it on WP, and if so on what licensing basis? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 23:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Speaking of photos, in addition to historical ones, can't someone in Serbia go photograph the present-day Sava (the gravel barge)? Maybe someone at WP:Serbia could help? Manxruler (talk) 23:47, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Most likely, but there's not enough information on that page to verify pre-1923 publication or any author-based licensing tag. Do we have any more information about that photo? Nikkimaria (talk) 23:53, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Plenty more pics here, but little to tell what their provenance is. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 03:16, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

There's a photo here - the title indicates it's the Romanian monitor Bucovina, but the caption states it's the ex-Austrian Sava. I don't know which one it is, but maybe either of you two can figure it out. Parsecboy (talk) 12:29, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Confusingly, the Austro-Hungarian river monitor Sava was a different vessel from the Yugoslav one of the same name, which was called Bodrog in Austro-Hungarian service. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:27, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

1944 scuttling
Just to add some detail: According to page 44 of this source, she was scuttled by her crew near Slavonski Brod and the crew subsequently defected to Yugoslav Partisans. Glad to see good work done on a ship that fired the first shots of the Great War - with the centennial coming up.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:49, 15 April 2014 (UTC) ✅ 23 editor (talk) 02:29, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
