In December 1914, as the First World War raged in Europe, Falkland Harbour underwent strategic fortifications under Governor Allardyce. Unbeknownst to the approaching German squadron led by Admiral von Spee, the British fleet, commanded by Admiral Sturdee, lay in wait in the calm waters of Port Stanley. A tense standoff ensued as warning shots were fired, revealing the British presence, and both sides prepared for the imminent Battle of the Falkland Islands.
