Notes
1. Many thanks to Rachel Greenblatt for this reference.
2. In 1848, the Habsburg Navy, the overwhelming majority of whose sailors and officers were Italian, lost most of its ships to revolutionary Italian forces and its principal berth in Venice. In March of 1849, the newly‐appointed imperial naval commander von Dahlerup launched a concerted drive to acquire new ships, thus presumably motivating Vienna’s Jews to make their bold offer. There is no sign that it was accepted (Sokel 19–25).
3. L’Univers Israélite, 18 February 1916, p. 604. This subject is thoughtfully treated in Landau (135–9).
4. This view is maintained by Paul Mendes‐Flohr.
5. Der Schild, 15 June 1925, p. 224.
6. Der Schild, 9 October 1925, pp. 374–5; see also the piece by British military chaplain Michael Adler reproduced in Der Schild on 22 October 1931, pp. 155–6.

8. I am grateful to my colleague Piotr Wrobel for his insights on this issue.
