Konstam's Yangtze River Gunboats page 15 states that twenty gunboats were there for part of the Wuchang uprising. Two of which were Russian--Some American newspapers state that the Mandour was ordered from Vladivostok. The name doesn't compute. Can anyone ID the ship in question? and the second ship.
Not really sure how Konstam arrived at twenty gunboats -he states there are six British --I can only ID Thistle, Alacrity I offer, his figure relates to total naval ships of a country and not necessarily the classification--would love to precisely ID all ships. Many thanks in advance.

Re: Russian gunboat at Hankow October/November 1911
Russian gunboat's name was Манджуръ (Mandzhur)
Three of them were Japanese. At least one was German - SMS Iltis - made in 1898 by Schichau.

The then Russian calendar was some two weeks back on the European one.
